A summer evening on Les Champs-Élysées
A secret rendez-vous they planned for days
I see the faces in the crowded café
A sound of laughter as the music plays

Jeanne-Claude was a 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
Oh, 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 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-Élysées
The entertainment in the street café
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
Jeanne-Claude has left to face other day

I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight (x2)

Oh, but Jeanne-Claude, Louise-Marie will never be
