That certain night, the night we met,

there was magic abroad in the air

there were angel's dining at the Ritz

and a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square!

I may be right and 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 London town

or 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 when we kissed and said goodnight

a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square!

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!

I know 'cause I was there

that night inBerkeley Square!
