A summer evening on the Champs-Élysées A secret rendez-vous they planned for days I see your faces in a crowded café The sound of laughter as the music plays Jean-Claude was a student at the Université Louise-Marie was just a world away He recalled the night they met was warm with laughter Her 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 will light a thousand faces But child the past seemed like a thousand years Midnight was turning into empty spaces The sound of laughter disappeared I'll meet you at midnight Another moonlight I'll meet you at midnight But Jean-Claude Louise-Marie will never be A single morning on the Champs-Élysées The empty table in 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
