A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square – Nat King Cole Song Chord/Tab and Lyric

There was magic abroad in the air;[B+]

There were angels dining at the Ritz

And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me

A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

Bridge 1:

The moon that lingered over Lon[C#m7-5]don town —

Poor, puzzled moon, he wor[C#m7-5]e a frown.

How could he know we two were [C#m7-5] so in love

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,
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

Coda:

I know 'cause I was there

That n[C/B]ight in Berkeley Square.[Cm7-5]
