A Nightingale Sang
In Berkeley Square
- That certain night, the night we
met,
- there was magic abroad in the air
- there were angel's dining at the
Ritz
- and a nightingale sang in Berkeley
Square!
-
- I may be right and 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!
-
- The moon that lingered over London
town
- or 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 when we kissed and said goodnight
- a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square!
-
- < instrumental break >
-
- 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!
-
- I know 'cause I was there
- that night in Berkeley Square!
