A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley

A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley - Vera Lynn/Bob Hope

When two lovers meet inMayfair

So the legands tell

Songbirds sing and 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 Berkley 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 In Berkley 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 Berkley Square

Our homeward step was just as light

As the tap dancing feet of Astair

And like an echo far away

A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square

I know 'cause I was there

That night in Berkley Square
