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. Bridge 1: The moon that lingered over London town -- Poor, puzzled moon, he wore a frown. How could he know we two were so in love The whole darn world seemed upside down. The streets of town were paved with stars, It was such a romantic affair. And as we kissed and said "Good-bye," A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. 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 Squre. Bridge 2: 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. Coda: I know 'cause I was there That night in Berkeley Square.
