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 on Berkley 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 on Berkley Square.
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 hazy, crazy night we met,when
A nightingale sang on Berkley Square.
This heart of mine beat loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair.
For we were dancing cheek to cheek and
A nightingale sang on Berkley 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??
