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 in 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 in Berk'ley Square
When dawn came stealing up all golden 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 Berk'ley Square.
When dawn came stealing up all golden blue, To interrupt our rendezvous. I still remember how you smiled and said, "Was that a dream or was it true?"
The streets of town were paved with stars It was such a romantic affair And as we kiss'd and said "good-night" A nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square
I know 'cause I was there, That night in Berk'ley Square
