A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square Lyrics

by E. Maschwitz 

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 upside down 

The streets of town were paved with stars 

It was such a romantic affair 

And as we kissed and said good-night 

A nightingale sang 

A nightingale sang 

I know 'cause I was there 

That night in Berkeley Square
