That certain night The night we met There was magic abroad in the air There were angels dining at the Ritz And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong But I'm perfectly willing to swear That when you turned and smiled at me A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The moon that lingered over London town That poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown How could he know we two were so in love The whole damned world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars It was such a romantic affair And as we kissed and said goodnight A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
How strange it was How sweet and strange There was never a dream to compare To those hazy, crazy nights we met And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
Ah this heart of mine beats loud and fast Like a merry-go-round in a fair We would dance cheek to cheek And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The dawn came stealing up all gold and blue To interrupt our rendezvous I still remember how you smiled and said Was that a dream or was it true?
Our homeward step was just as light As the dancing feet of Astair And like an echo far away A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square That night in Berkeley Square
