A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square
Enchanting Nights: A Nightingale's Melody in Berkeley Square
Lyrics
That certain night
Describing a particular night
The night we met
Referring to the night of their meeting
There was magic abroad in the air
Sensing a magical atmosphere
There were angels dining at the Ritz
Symbolic imagery of luxury and opulence
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Highlighting a special moment with the presence of a nightingale
I may be right I may be wrong
Expressing uncertainty about the situation
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
Willingness to assert a belief
That when you turned and smiled at me
Recalling a moment of connection with a smile
A nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Reiterating the significance of the nightingale
The moon that lingered over London town
Describing the moon's presence over London
Poor puzzled moon he wore a frown
Personifying the moon's confusion
How could he know we two were so in love
Indicating a deep romantic connection
The whole damned world seemed upside down
Expressing the intensity of their love affecting the world
The streets of town were paved with stars
Using metaphor to describe the romantic nature of the setting
It was such a romantic affair
Recalling a romantic encounter
And as we kissed and said goodnight
Linking a kiss to the nightingale's song
A nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Repeating the importance of the nightingale's presence
How strange it was
Reflecting on the uniqueness of the experience
How sweet and strange
Emphasizing the sweet and strange nature of the memories
There was never a dream to compare
Comparing the experience to an unmatched dream
To those hazy crazy nights we met
Recalling vivid memories of nights together
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Reiterating the significance of the nightingale in Berkeley Square
Ah this heart of mine
Describing the emotional intensity of the narrator's heart
Loud and fast
Comparing the heart's rhythm to a merry-go-round
Like a merry-go-round in a fair
Evoking a sense of joy and excitement
We would dance cheek to cheek
Recalling dancing closely and intimately
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Reiterating the significance of the nightingale in Berkeley Square
The dawn came stealing up
Describing the arrival of dawn
All gold and blue
Depicting the dawn with vivid colors
To interrupt our rendez-vous
Interrupting a romantic encounter
I still remember how you smiled and said
Recalling a memorable question about reality
Was that a dream or was it true?
Expressing uncertainty about the authenticity of the experience
Our homeward step was just as light
Describing a light homeward journey
As the dancing feet of Astaire
Comparing their steps to the dancing feet of Astaire
And like an echo far away
Echoing the memory of the nightingale from a distance
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Reiterating the significance of the nightingale in Berkeley Square
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
Repeating the importance of the nightingale's song
That night in Berkeley square.
Summarizing the memorable night in Berkeley Square
