A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
Jack Jezzro And Friends Lyrics

That certain night
Referring to a specific night

The night we met
The night when the two of them met

There was magic abroad in the air
The atmosphere was full of magic

There were angels dining at the Ritz
The people who were dining at the Ritz seemed angelic

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
A nightingale was singing in Berkeley Square

I may be right I may be wrong
The singer is unsure of whether they are right or wrong

But I'm perfectly willing to swear
The singer is sure enough to make a declaration

That when you turned and smiled at me
When the other person turned and smiled at the artist

A nightingale sang in Berkeley square
A nightingale was singing in Berkeley Square

The moon that lingered over London town
The moon was visible in the sky above London

Poor puzzled moon he wore a frown
The moon looked confused and troubled

How could he know we two were so in love
The moon was unaware of the artist and the other person's love for each other

The whole damned world seemed upside down
Everything felt surreal and strange

The streets of town were paved with stars
The streets seemed to be filled with starlight

It was such a romantic affair
The whole experience was very romantic

And as we kissed and said goodnight
As they said goodbye with a kiss

A nightingale sang in Berkeley square
A nightingale was singing in Berkeley Square

How strange it was
The experience was unusual

How sweet and strange
The experience was sweet but strange

There was never a dream to compare
The experience was unlike anything they had ever dreamed of

To those hazy crazy nights we met
Referring to the meeting nights, which were hazy and crazy

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
A nightingale was singing in Berkeley Square

Ah this heart of mine
Referring to the singer's heart

Loud and fast
Beating strongly and quickly

Like a merry-go-round in a fair
Comparing the heartbeat to the spinning of a merry-go-round

We would dance cheek to cheek
They would dance closely, cheek to cheek

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
A nightingale was singing in Berkeley Square

The dawn came stealing up
The dawn arrived quietly

All gold and blue
With golden and blue hues

To interrupt our rendez-vous
Interrupting their meeting/rendezvous

I still remember how you smiled and said
The other person smiled and said something memorable

Was that a dream or was it true?
They were questioning the reality of what had just happened

Our homeward step was just as light
The steps they took on their way home felt light

As the dancing feet of Astaire
Comparing their steps to the lightness of Fred Astaire's dancing

And like an echo far away
Suggesting that the nightingale's song was still echoing in their minds

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
A nightingale was singing in Berkeley Square
