[Verse 1]
A summer evening on des Champs-Élysées
A secret rendezvous they planned for days
A sea of faces in a crowded café
A sound of laughter as the music plays

[Verse 2]
Jean-Claude was a student at the University
Louise-Marie is just a world away
He recalled the night they met was warm with laughter
The words were music as she turned away

[Chorus]
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight

[Post-Chorus]
But Jean-Claude - Louise-Marie will never be

[Verse 2]
Each cigarette would light a thousand faces
Each hour that pass seemed like a thousand years
Midnight was turning into empty spaces
The sound of laughter disappeared
[Chorus]
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, but Jean-Claude - Louise-Marie will never be

[Verse 3]
A summer morning on des Champs-Élysées
The empty table in the street café
The sunlight melting through an open doorway
Jean-Claude has left to face another day

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight

[Chorus]
I'll meet you at midnight
Under the moonlight
I'll meet you at midnight

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, but Jean-Claude - Louise-Marie will never be
