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

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

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 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

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 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

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...
