Ray Noble - Mad About The Boy Lyrics

A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
Ray Noble
Music and Lyrics by Manning Sherwin and Eric Maschwitz


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 on 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 on 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 “goodnight”
A nightingale sang on 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 on 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 on Berk’ley 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 tap dancing feet of Astaire
And like an echo far away
A nightingale sang on Berk’ley Square.
