A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
Enchanted Nights: A Nightingale's Melody in Berkeley Square
Lyrics
That certain night
Describing a specific night
The night we met
Referring to the night of their first meeting
There was magic abroad in the air
Sense of enchantment in the atmosphere
There were angels dining at the Ritz
Imagery of luxurious angels at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Highlighting a special moment with a nightingale in Berkeley Square
I may be right I may be wrong
Expressing uncertainty about the following statements
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
Willing to swear about a significant event
That when you turned and smiled at me
Recalling a moment when the person smiled
A nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Reaffirming the presence of the nightingale
The moon that lingered over London town
Describing the moon over London
Poor puzzled moon he wore a frown
Personifying the moon as puzzled
How could he know we two were so in love
Moon unaware of the deep love between the two
The whole damned world seemed upside down
World seems chaotic due to their love
The streets of town were paved with stars
Streets symbolically paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
Describing a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight
Recalling a romantic moment saying goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Reiteration of the nightingale's presence
How strange it was
Reflecting on the strangeness and sweetness
How sweet and strange
Comparing the experience to a dream
There was never a dream to compare
Expressing the uniqueness of the dream
To those hazy crazy nights we met
Recollection of hazy and crazy nights
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Reaffirmation of the nightingale's presence in Berkeley Square
Ah this heart of mine
Describing the speaker's heart as lively
Loud and fast
Comparing the heart to a merry-go-round
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
Simile for the heart's rhythm in a fair
We would dance cheek to cheek
Recalling dancing closely with a partner
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Reiteration of the nightingale's presence during the dance
The dawn came stealing up
Describing the dawn in golden and blue hues
All gold and blue
Interrupting their meeting with the arrival of dawn
To interrupt our rendez-vous
Referring to their rendezvous being disrupted
I still remember how you smiled and said
Recalling a smile and questioning the reality of the moment
Was that a dream or was it true?
Reflection on whether the experience was a dream or reality
Our homeward step was just as light
Describing their light homeward steps
As the dancing feet of Astaire
Comparing their steps to the dancing feet of Astaire
And like an echo far away
Reference to the lingering memory, echoed in the distance
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Reiteration of the nightingale's song in Berkeley Square
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Repetition of the nightingale's song
That night in Berkeley square.
Recalling the memorable night in Berkeley Square
