A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square

That certain night, the night we met,
C B7 Emi B
There was magic abroad in the air;
G D7 G7 Cmi
There were angels dining at the Ritz
G Emi Ami7 D7 G Emi Ami7 D7
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
G Emi Ami7 D7 G Emi Em6 F#7
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

*: The moon that lingered over London town --
Bmi Gdimi C#m7/5- F#7
Poor, puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
B7 C#m7/5- F#7
How could he know we two were so in love
Bmi Gdimi Ami7 D
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,"
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 at the fair;
For we were dancing cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Squre.
*: 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,
G Emi Ami7 D7 G Emi
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
Ami7 D7 Dm6 E7
I know 'cause I was there
C C/B Cmi D7 G Emi Cmi Cm7/5- G
That night in Berkeley Square.
