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

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
