A Nightingale Sang In Berkley Square (SIR 713)  Thorsten Geppert   (Judy Campbell / Ray Noble / Vera Lynn)

 

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK – CLOSER

FOUR LADIES CHAIN – turn that Girl

You turn and CHAIN HER BACK home
You join hands CIRCLE ‘round you know my baby now

ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE

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 Berk'ley Square

                                                                                                                              

 

FIGURE

HEADS you PROMENADE your baby HALF WAY down

Walk in SQUARE THRU get FOUR hands ‘round

It’s all the way over and a RIGHT AND LEFT THRU

VEER LEFT and CIRCULATE your Girl one time

SWING there with your Girl PROMENADE

And when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square

Alternative Lyrics:

 

That certain night, the night we met, there was magic abroad in the air.
There were angels dining at the Ritz and a nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong but I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turn'd and smiled at me, a nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square

The streets of town were paved with stars, it was such a romantic affair
And as we kiss'd and said "good-night" a nightingale sang in Berk'ley 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 Berk'ley Square

This heart of mine beat loud and fast like a merry-go-round in a fair
For we were dancing cheek to cheek and a nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square
Our homeward step was just as light as the tap-dancing feet of Astaire
And like an echo far away, a nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square

 

A nightingale sang in Berk'ley, a nightingale sang in Berk'ley - That night in Berk'ley 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

 

When dawn came stealing up all golden blue, to interrupt our rendezvous.
I still remember how you smiled and said, "Was that a dream or was it true?"
