"I'll Meet You At Midnight" lyrics

I'll Meet You At Midnight

A summer evening on Les Champs Elyses
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
I see faces in the crowded cafe
A sound of laughter as the music plays

Jeanne-Claude's student at the University
Louise-Marie is just a world away

You recall the night they met
Was warm with laughter
The words and 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 will light a thousand faces
The shade is passing like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter'd 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 Elyses
The entertainment in the street cafes
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
Jeanne-Claude has left for some other 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
