That certain night, the night we met,  
  
 C         B7           Em       C   
There was magic abroad in the air;  
  
 G          C          G      Cm  
There were angels dining at the Ritz  
  
  G                Em       Am7  D7    G          
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.  

 Em    Am7    D7  
  
  
I may be right, I may be wrong,   
But I'm perfectly willing to swear  
That when you turned and smiled at me  
   
   G            Em    Am7   D7   G      
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

Bridge 1:  
  B              C#m7/5-     F#7  
The moon that lingered over London town --  
  
Ebm           C#m7/5-         F#7   
Poor, puzzled moon, he wore a frown.  
  
B              C#m7/5-            F#7  
How could he know we two were  so in love   
  
Ebm                   Am7     D  
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 'Good-bye,'   
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.  
  
  
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 Berkeley Square.  
  
  
This heart of mine beat loud and fast,   
Like a merry go round at the fair;  
For we were dancing cheek to cheek   
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Squre.  
  
  
Bridge 2:   
  
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,   
   G           Em      Am7 D7    G       Em  
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

I know 'cause I was there  
  
C       C/B     Cm   D7    G     Em    Cm    Cm7/5-    G  
  That night in Berkeley Square.
