Lyrics

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 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 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 Berkley Square This heart of mine beats loud and fast Like a merry-go-round in a fair For we were dancing cheek to cheek And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square When dawn came stealing up all golden 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 a Astaire And like an echo far away A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square I know 'cause I was there That night in Berkeley Square
