I'll Meet You At Midnight

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

Jean Claude was a student at the university
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 will light a thousand faces
Each hour that passed seemded 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

A summer morning on the Champs Elysees
The empty tables of the street cafes
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
