A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square Songtext

von Vera Lynn

When two lovers meet in Mayfair
So the legands tell
Songbirds sing and 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
AndA Nightingale Sang In Berkley 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 Berkley 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

A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square

Our homeward step was just as light
As the tap dancing feet of Astair
And like an echo far away
A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square
I know 'cause I was there, that night in Berkley Squar
