A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square - Carmen McRae

作词：Eric Maschwitz/Manning Sherwin

作曲：Eric Maschwitz/Manning Sherwin

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 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

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 top dancing feet of a Astaire

And like an echo far away

A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

I know 'cause I was there

That night in Berkeley Square
