A summer evening on the
Champs Elysees
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
A sea of faces in a crowded cafe
The sound of laughter as the music played

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 short of passion 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
But Jean Claude
Louise Marie will never be

A summer morning on the
Champs Elysees the empty tables of the street cafe
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
Jean Claude 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
But Jean Claude
Louise Marie will never be
