That certain night, the night we met There was magic abroad in the air There were angels dining at the lips At a nightingale's sound in Bodley Square 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 Barclay Square The moon that lingered over London Town Oh, a 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 of town were paved with stars It was such a romantic affair And as we kissed and said goodnight A nightingale sang in Barclay Square When dawn came stealing up all golden blue To interrupt our rendezvous I still remember how you smiled and said Is that a dream or was it true? Our homeward step was just as light As the dancing of Freya's stare And like an echo far away A nightingale sang in Barclay Square
