A NIGHTINGALE SANG
IN BERKELEY SQUARE
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 on Berk'ley Square
I may be right I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turn'd and smiled at me
A nightingale sang on Berk'ley 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 kiss'd and said goodnight
A nightingale sang on Berk'ley 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 on Berk'ley 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 on Berk'ley 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 on Berk'ley Square
