A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square Lyrics


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 SquareI may be right, I may be wrong
But Im perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley SquareThe moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know that we two were so in love?
The whole darn world seemed upside downThe 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 SquareThe 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 downThe streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight

A nightingale sang, a nightingale sang
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkeley Square

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Carmen Mercedes McRae (1920-1994) was a U.S. jazz singer, songwriter, and pianist. McRae was born in Harlem, New York, on the 8th April 1920, and studied piano as a child. As a teenager she came to the attention of Teddy Wilson and his wife, the composer Irene Kitchings Wilson. Through their influence, one of McRae’s early songs, "Dream of Life", was recorded by Wilson’s longtime collaborator Billie Holiday.
