I'll Meet You At Midnight Smokie

A summer evening on Les Champs-Élysées
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
A sea of faces in a crowded café
A sound of laughter as the music plays

Jean-Claude was a student at the University
Louise-Marie was just a world away

He recalled the night they met was warm with laughter
The words were music as she turned away

I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
But, Jean-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be

Each cigarette would light a thousand faces
Each hour that passed seemed like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter disappeared

I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh, but, Jean-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be

A summer morning on Les Champs-Élysées
The empty table in the street café

The sunlight melting through an open doorway
'Cause Jean-Claude has left to face another day

I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh, but, Jean-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be
