Il testo della A nightingale sang in berkeley square

Lyrics by eric maschwitz, music by manning sherwin

When two lovers meet in mayfair, so the legends tell,
Songbirds sing; winter turns to spring.
Every winding street in mayfair falls beneath the spell.
I know such enchantment can be, 'cos 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 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',
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 tap-dancing feet of astaire
And, like an echo far away,
A nightingale sang in berkeley square

I know 'cos i was there,
That night in berkeley square
