A summer evening on the Champs-Élysées
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
A sea of faces in a crowded cafe
The sound of laughter as the music plays
Jeanne-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
Chorus:
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
But Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be
Each cigarette will light a thousand faces
Each hour that pass seem like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter disappeared
Chorus:
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh, but Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be
A summer morning on the Champs-Élysées
The empty table in the street cafe
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
And Jeanne-Claude has left to face another day
Chorus:
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 Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be
