A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square Melody - Manning Sherwin, 1915 Vera Lynn 
Eric Maschwitz When true lovers meet in Mayfair, So the legends tell, Song birds sing, Winter turns to spring, Ev'ry winding street in Mayfair falls beneath the spell. I know such enchantment can be, 'Cause it happened one ev'ning to me. 
Chorus: 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 Berk'ley 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 Berk'ley 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 kiss'd and said "good-night" A nightingale sang in Berk'ley 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 Berk'ley 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 Berk'ley Square 
When dawn came stealing up all golden 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 Berk'ley Square. 
I know 'cause I was there, 
That night in Berk'ley Square
