A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
Connick Harry Jr. Lyrics

That certain night, the night we met
On the night we first met, something magical was in the air.

There was magic abroad in the air
A feeling of enchantment filled the atmosphere.

There were angels dining at the Ritz
There was something special happening, even the celestial beings were taking notice.

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
An unexpected bird song added to the enchanting atmosphere of the evening.

I may be right, I may be wrong
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe what I'm about to say is true.

But I'm perfectly willing to swear
I'm confident enough to make an oath about what I experienced.

That when you turned and smiled at me
I remember that moment clearly- when you looked at me and smiled.

A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The bird's song became more pronounced and memorable in that moment.

The moon that lingered over London town
The moon was still present, illuminating the city's activity.

Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
The moon seemed confused by the unusual events unfolding before it.

How could he know we two were so in love
The moon had no way of knowing the deep love that existed between us.

The whole darn world seemed upside down
The world felt completely transformed for us, as if nothing else mattered.

The streets of town were paved with stars
The city felt almost mystical, with a starry aura.

It was such a romantic affair
The evening was filled with a profound sense of love and romance.

And as we kissed and said goodnight
As our night came to a close, we shared a tender goodbye kiss.

A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The bird's song remained a prominent part of our memories of that night.

Nightingale sang
The song of the bird continued to be heard throughout the night, even as we left.

I know 'cause I was there
I have no doubt about what I experienced that magical night- I was there.
