A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
I see faces in the crowded cafe
A sound of laughter as the music plays.
Jeanne-Claude's student at the University
Louise-Marie is just a world away
He recall the night they met
Was warm with laughter
The words and music as she turned away.
[Refrain:]
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight
Oh, but Jeanne-Claude,
Louise-Marie will never be
Each cigarette will light a thousand faces
Each hour passing like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter disappeared
[Refrain]
A summer morning on Les Champs Elyses
The empty table in the street cafe.
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
Jeanne-Claude has left to face another day.
(I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight)
[Refrain]
