Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 Berkley Square

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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 Berkley Square

[Verse 5]

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 Berkeley Square

[Verse 6]

Ah, 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 in Berkeley Square

[Verse 7]

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?"

[Verse 8]

Our homeward step was just as light

As the dancing feet of Astaire

And just like an echo far away

A nightingale sang in Berkeley

A nightingale sang in Berkley

That night in Berkley Square
