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 goodnight,
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
~interlude~
When dawn came stealing up, all gold and blue
To interrupt our rendez-vous,
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 of Fr-ed Astaire,
And like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
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.
