That certain nightthe 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 rightI 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 londontown

Poor puzzled moonhe wore a frown.

How could he know that 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 upall 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 fred astaire

And like an echo far away

A nightingale sang in berkeley square.
