Bobby Darin › Lyrics › A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square

That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were Angels dinin’ at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

I may be right, 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 darn world seemed upside-down

The streets uptown were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said good night
A nightingale sang in Berkeley 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 in Berkeley Square

Ah, this heart of mine it beat loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
For we were dancin’ cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

When dawn came stealin’ 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 dancin’ feet of Astaire
And just like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in Berkeley

A nightingale sang in Berkeley
That night in Berkeley Square
