A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square Lyrics - Singles - Nat King Cole

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
