The Nightingale Sang In Barkley Square

When two lovers meet in mayfair

So the legends tell

Songbirds sing

Winter turns to spring

Every 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 turned and smiled at me

A nightingale sang in berkeley square

The moon that lingered 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 kissed and said, "goodnight"

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
