"West of the Wall" is a 1962 song written by Wayne Shanklin,[1] and was recorded as a single by Toni Fisher.
The song tells of the sadness of lovers separated by the Berlin Wall which divided West Berlin from surrounding East Germany, including East Berlin at the time, and expresses the hope that the wall will soon fall.
Fisher's earlier 1961 single for the Signet record label, "You Never Told Me", had "Toot Toot Amore" on the B side, which was the same melody and arrangement as "West of the Wall" with different lyrics.
The song was a Top 40 hit for Toni Fisher in the United States, where it reached #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1962.
It enjoyed greater success in Australia, where it reached #1 on the Australian chart for two weeks beginning 21 July.
