Lyrics Vera Lynn – A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square
Text:
When two lovers meet in Mayfair 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
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
