I'll Meet You At Midnight

A summer evenin' on the Champs-Élysées

A secret rendezvous they planned for days

A sea of faces in a crowded café

The sound of laughter as the music plays

Jean-Claude was a student at the université

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 turnin' 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 mornin' on the Champs-Élysées

The empty table in the street café

The sunlight melting through an open doorway

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
