A NIGHTINGALE SANG IN BERKELEY SQUARE

Glenn Miller



WHEN TRUE LOVERS MEET IN MAYFAIR SO THE LEGEND TELLS



SONG-BIRDS 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 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



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 DARNED WORLD SEEMED UP-SIDE 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





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 IN A 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



I KNOW CAUSE I WAS THERE



THAT NIGHT IN BERKELEY SQUARE
