A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square lyrics

WHEN TRUE LOVERS MEET IN MAYFAIR SO THE LEGEND TELLS

SONG-BIRDS SING, WINTER TURNS TO SPRING

EVERY WINDING STREET IN MAYFAIR FALLS BENEATH THE SPELL

I KNOW SUCH ENCHANTMENT CAN BE

`CAUSE IT HAPPENED ONE EVENING TO ME

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

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 DARNED WORLD SEEMED UP-SIDE 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

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

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

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?`

OUR HOMEWARD STEP WAS JUST AS LIGHT

AS THE TAP-DANCING FEET OF ASTAIRE

AND LIKE AN ECHO FAR AWAY

A NIGHTINGALE SANG IN BERKELEY SQUARE

I KNOW CAUSE I WAS THERE

THAT NIGHT IN BERKELEY SQUARE
