Intro: When true lovers meet in may fair, so the legends tell Song birds sing, winter turns to spring Ev'ry winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell I know such enchantment can be 'Cause it happened one ev'ning to me Melody 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 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 "Goodnight" A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square Interlude: 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 And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square I know 'cause I was there That night in Berkeley Square
