I'll meet you at midnight

A summer evening on the Champs Elyses A secret rendezvous they planned for days     A sea of 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 recall 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 Jeanne-Claude Louise-Marie will never be Each cigarette would light a thousand faces Each hour passing 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 Jeanne-Claude Louise-Marie will never be A summer morning on the 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 But Jeanne-Claude Louise-Marie will never be
