A nightingale sang in Berkeley square

That certain night, the night we met,

                              B+
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
 
                             
nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

Bridge 1:

                     C#m7-5  
The moon that lingered over London town --

           C#m7-5  
Poor, puzzled moon, he wore a frown.

                           C#m7-5 
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 "Good-bye," 
nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

How strange it was, how sweet and strange; 
There was never a dream [bad word] 
With that hazy, crazy night we met 
When a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

This heart of mine beat loud and fast, 
Like a merry go round at the fair;
For we were dancing cheek to cheek 
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Squre.

Bridge 2: 

When dawn came stealing up all gold and blue
To [bad word] our rendezvous,
I still remember how you smiled and said,
"Was that a dream or was it [bad word] "

Our homeward step was just as light 
As the tap-dancing feet of Astaire,
And like an echo, far away, 
                           
nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

Coda:

             
I know 'cause I was there

                         Cm7-5    
  That night in Berkeley Square.
