Bridge 1:
B7 C#m7-5 F#7 The moon that lingered over London town --
Bm Gdim C#m7-5 F#7 Poor, puzzled moon, he wore a frown.
B7 C#m7-5 F#7 How could he know we two were so in love
Bm Gdim 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.
