I`ll Meet You At Midnight

Chinn / Chapman

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

Jean Claude was a student at the university (l`universite),
Louise Marie is (was) just a world away,
He recalled 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 Jean 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,
Oh but Jean Claude, Louise Marie will never be.

A summer morning on Les Champs Elysees,
The empty table in the street cafe,
The sunlight melting through an open doorway,
Jean Claude has left to face another day.

I`ll meet you at midnight,
Under the moon light,
I`ll meet you at midnight,
I`ll meet you at midnight,
Under the moon light,
I`ll meet you at midnight,
Oh, but Jean Claude, Louise Marie will never be.
