I'll Meet You At Midnight

A summer evening on Les Champs-Élysées A secret rendezvous they planned for days A sea of faces in a crowded café A 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 would light a thousand faces Each hour that passed seemed 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 Les Champs-Élysées The empty table in the street café The sunlight melting through an open doorway 'Cause 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
