summer evening on the Champs Elysees
secret rendezvous that planned for days
sea of faces in a crowded cafe
The sound of laughter as the music plays

Jean-Claude is a student of the University
Louise Marie was just a world away
He recalls 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
Well but Jean-Claude, Louise Marie will never be

Each cigarette would light a thousand faces
Each hour passing 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

summer morning on the Champs Elysees
The empty tables of the street cafe
Sunlight is melting through an open doorway
Jean-Claude is 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...
