Summer evening on the Champs-Élysées A secret rendez-vous they planned for days A sea of faces and a crowded café The sound of laughter as the music plays Jean-Claude was a student at l'université 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, another moonlight I'll meet you at midnight, but Jean-Claude Louise-Marie will never be Each cigarette would light a thousand faces A child 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, another moonlight I'll meet you at midnight, but Jean-Claude Louise-Marie will never be A summer morning on the Champs-Élysées The empty table of a street café The sunlight melting through an open doorway And Jean-Claude is left to face another day I'll meet you at midnight, another moonlight I'll meet you at midnight, but Jean-Claude Louise-Marie will never be But Jean-Claude Louise-Marie will never be
