A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square 1940 Vs3

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 merrygoround 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 tapdancing 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.
