A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

Anita O'Day

Intro: How strange it was, how sweet and strange There was never a dream to compare With that hazy, crazy night we met When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square This heart of mine beat loud and fast Like a merry go round at the fair For we were dancing cheek to cheek And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square When 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 tap-dancing feet of Astaire And like an echo, far away A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square When 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 The streets of town were paved with stars It was such a romantic affair And as we kissed and said "Good-night" A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square I know 'cause I was there That night in Berkeley Square
