When two lovers meet in Mayfair so the legends 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
