A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
Ray Noble
Music and Lyrics by
Manning Sherwin and Eric Maschwitz


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 on Berk’ley Square.
I may be right, I may
be wrong,
But I’m perfectly willing to swear
That when you turn’d and
smiled at me
A nightingale sang on Berk’ley 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 kiss’d and said “goodnight�
A nightingale sang on
Berk’ley 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 on Berk’ley Square.
This heart of mine beat loud and
fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair.
For we were dancing cheek to cheek
and
A nightingale sang on Berk’ley 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 on Berk’ley Square.
