011 - A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
Verse 1
That cer-tain night, the night we met
there was ma-gic a-broad in the air,
there were an-gels din-ing at the Ritz
and a Night-in-gale Sang In Ber-k’ly Square.
Verse 2
I may be right, I may be wrong,
but I’m per-fect-ly wil-ling to swear
that when you turned and smiled at me
A Night-in-gale Sang In Ber-k’ly Square.
Bridge
^ The moon that lin-gered o-ver Lon-don Town,
Poor puz-zled moon, he wore a frown,
^ How could he know we two were so in love,
the whole wide world seemed up-side down.
Verse 3
The streets of town were paved with stars,
It was such a ro-man-tic af-fair,
and as we (sing vowel - beware the ‘ss’) kiiiii-ss’d and said good-night
A Night-in-gale Sang In Berk-‘ly Square.
