Armand l'Enchanté - Midnight in Montmartre Lyrics

[Intro]
Shadows dance on cobblestone
Like memories we can't postpone
In Montmartre, the night unfolds
Where secrets never grow old

[Verse 1]
Late night jazz and cigarette smoke
Every promise that you broke
Floats away like morning haze
Through these dimly lit cafes
Your lipstick on another glass
Should've known it wouldn't last
Playing trumpet through the pain
While you're dancing in the rain

[Chorus]
Midnight in Montmartre
Where dreams and heartache start
The band plays on and on
Till everything's gone wrong
Baby, what's your alibi?
Those kisses were a lie
In the streets of old Paris
Where love becomes a masquerade

[Verse 2]
Every note I play tonight
Is screaming what ain't right
But the show must carry on
Even when the trust is gone
In this smoky cabaret
Watch you slowly slip away
To his arms across the floor
While I'm knocking at your door

[Bridge]
The trumpet cries what I can't say
As midnight blues just fade away
These empty streets know every tune
Of how I lost my heart too soon

[Chorus]
Midnight in Montmartre
Where dreams and heartache start
The band plays on and on
Till everything's gone wrong
Baby, what's your alibi?
Those kisses were a lie
In the streets of old Paris
Where love becomes a masquerade

[Outro]
So play it cool and take a bow
There's nothing left to save us now
Just memories of what we had
In Montmartre, sweet and sad
