[Verse 1]
A summer evening on Les Champs Elysees
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
I see faces in the crowded cafe
A sound of laughter as the music plays
[Verse 2]
Jeanne-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 of 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...
[Verse 3]
Each cigarette would light a thousand faces
Each hour that passed seemed like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter had 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...
[Verse 4]
A summer morning on Les Champs Elysees
The empty tables of the street cafe
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
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...
