When true 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 a broad 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 stealin' 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
