Nat King Cole
"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 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
Londontown
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a
frown.
How could he know that 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 Berkeley
Square.

~interlude~

When dawn came stealing up, all
gold and blue
To interrupt our rendez-vous,
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 dancing of Fred Astaire,
And like an echo far away,
A nightingale sang in Berkeley
Square
