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 Berk-'ley Square.
I may be right, I may be wrong,
But I'm per-fect-ly will-ing to swear
That when you turned
and smiled at me,
A night-in'gale sang
in Berk-'ley Square.
The moon that lin-gered
ov-er Lon-don town
Poor puz-zled moon, he wore a frown.
How could he know
we two were so in love?
The whole darn world
seemed up-side down.
The streets of town were
paved with stars
It was such a ro-man-tic af-fair.
And as we kissed and said good-night,
A night-in-gale sang
in Berk-'ley Square.
How strange it was,
how sweet and strange,
there was nev-er a dream to com-pare.
With that ha-zy cra-zy night we met
When a night-in-gale sang
In Bark-'ley Square
This heart of mine beats loud and fast
Like a mer-ry-go-round in a fair
For we were danc-ing cheek to cheek
And a night-in-gale sang
In Berk-'ley Square
When dawn came steal-ing up,
all gold and blue
To in-ter-rupt our ren-dez-vous,
I still re-mem-ber how
you smiled and said,
"Was that a dream? Or was it true?"
Our home-ward step was just as light
As the tap danc-ing feet of As-taire,
And like an e-cho far a- way
A night-in-gale sang
in Berk-'ley Square.
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berk-'ley Square
