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
As hard am I be 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 golden and blue
To enter at our rendezvous
I still remember how you smile and said
"Was that a dream or was it true?"
Our homeward step was just as light
As the tap dancing feet off Astaire
And like an echo far away
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
When dawn came stealing up all golden and blue
To enter at our rendezvous
I still remember how you smiled and said
"Was that a dream or was it true?"
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said good night
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkeley Square
There was never a dream to compare
With that hazy crazy night we met
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
As hard am I be 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 golden and blue
To enter at our rendezvous
I still remember how you smile and said
"Was that a dream or was it true?"
Our homeward step was just as light
As the tap dancing feet off Astaire
And like an echo far away
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
When dawn came stealing up all golden and blue
To enter at our rendezvous
I still remember how you smiled and said
"Was that a dream or was it true?"
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said good night
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkeley Square
