![]() Tekst: Eric Maschwitz / Muziek: Manning Sherwin (1943) ![]() 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 Londontown 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 rendez-vous 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 dancing of Fred Astaire And like an echo far away A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square ![]() |
