A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Feb 2001.

When true lovers meet in Mayfair,
so the legends tell,

song birds sing,
Winter turns to Spring.

Ev'ry winding street in Mayfair,
falls beneath the spell,

I know such enchantment can be,
'cause it happened one evening to me.

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 turn'd and smil'd at me,
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square.

The moon that linger'd 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 kiss'd and said "Goodnight",
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.

This heart of mine, beat loud and fast,
like a merry~go~round in a fair,

for we were dancing cheek to cheek, and
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square.

When dawn came stealing 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 tap~dancing feet of Astaire,

And like an echo far away,
A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square.

I know 'cause I was there,
That night in Berkeley Square.
