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
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
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 kissed and said
goodnight,
A nightingale sang in Berkley
Square
<instrumental>
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
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkley Square
