0:00A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square - Vera Lynn/The London Esterhazy Orchestra/Graham Balby/The Sarum Voices
0:09When two lovers meet in mayfair so the legends tell
0:15Songbirds sing Winter turns to Spring
0:21Every winding street in mayfair falls beneath the spell
0:28I know such enchantment can be
0:33Cause it happened one evening to me
0:41That certain night the night we met
0:46There was magic abroad in the air
0:51There were angels dining at the ritz
0:55And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
1:04I may be right I maybe wrong
1:08But I'm perfectly willing to swear
1:13That when you turned and smiled at me
1:17A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
1:27The moon that lingered over London town
1:30Poor puzzled moon he wore a frown
1:35How could he know that we two were so in love
1:39The whole damned world seemed up side down
1:46The streets of town were paved with stars
1:50It was such a romantic affair
1:55And as we kissed and said good night
2:00A nightingale sang in Berkley Square
2:29Our homeward step was just as light as
2:34The tap dancing feet of astaire
2:39And like an echo far away
2:44A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
2:52I know cause I was there that night in Berkeley Square
