A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square Lyrics - Evening With George Shearing & Mel Torme - George Shearing

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?" 

Photos 

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
