Vera lynn 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 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 damned 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 Berkeley square

How strange it was
How sweet and strange
There was never a dream to compare
To those hazy crazy nights we met
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square

Ah this heart of mine
Loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
We would dance cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square

The dawn came stealing up
All gold and blue
To interrupt our rendez-vous
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 dancing feet of Astaire
And like an echo far away
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square

That night in Berkeley square.

A nightingale sang in berkley square by 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

And A 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 Square

A nightingale sang in berkeley square by 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

and A 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 Square

Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine.     Stand With Ukraine!
