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 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 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 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
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said "Good-night"
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkeley Square
