Here are two versions of this great song. Which one do you like the best?
Click here for the Anne Shelton version from the Forties.
Bobby Darin recorded this rendition in 1964.
I vote for the Bobby Darin Version. I believe it is one of the best songs he ever recorded.
Here are the lyrics.
I may be right
May be wrong
But I’m perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
The moon that lingered over London town
Poor, puzzled moon
He wore a frown
How could he know we two were so in love
The whole darn world seemed upside-down.
The streets uptown were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed
And said good night
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.
Ah, this heart of mine
It beat loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
For we were dancin’ cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
When dawn came stealin’ 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 dancin’ feet of Astaire
And just like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in Berkeley …
A nightingale sang in Berkeley …
That night in Berkeley Square.
