I'll Meet You At Midnight

Author(s): M.Chapman/N.Chinn Album: Full Circle (2000) The Hits! From His Smokie and Solo Years (2009) Smokie "Midnight Cafe" (1976)

A summer evening on Les Champs Elysees A secret rendezvous they planned for days I see faces in the crowded cafe A sound of laughter as the music plays Jeanne-Claude's student at the University Louise-Marie is just a world away You recall the night they met was warm with laughter The words and music as she turned away Chorus: 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 will light a thousand faces Each hour that passed seemed like a thousand years Midnight was turning into empty spaces The sound of laughter'd disappeared Chorus A summer morning on Les Champs Elysees The empty tables in the street cafe The sunlight melting through an open doorway Jeanne-Claude has left to face another day Chorus
