It all began in a cabana in Havana Where I enjoyed a month's vacation by the sea And 'neath the tropic sun I found the one and only one for me
I learned to love in a cabana in Havana He even taught me how to rhumba on the sand And how he'd look at me And softly say, "Si, Si" to all I planned
Ya-ya, ya-ya, he would serenade on his guitar, Too-too, too-too, and romance like only Latins do Ay-ay, ay-ay, I remember when we kissed goodbye And I was so contented I finally consented I'd marry him in July...
And now I sit in a cabana in Long Island And see a couple honeymooning by the sea And it's my Latin love right there in a cabana next to me And he doesn't give a darno for this poor Americano Next winter you'll be seeing me tobogganing and skiing far away From a cabana in Havana!

I recall the story, That night of love and glory A night that left my heart romantic scars We stood so near to heaven That I reached clear to heaven And gathered you a handful of stars
Sweet remembered hour When love began to flower With moonlight through the trees like silver balls And as the moon grew older I reached across your shoulder And gathered you a handful of stars
I placed my fingertips upon your lips And stars fell in your eyes Moonglow made a halo of your hair Suddenly you looked at me and dreams began to rise Oh, what things unspoken trembled in the air
Our hearts were madly beating And then our lips were meeting And Venus seemed to melt right into Mars Then while we stood caressing Blue heaven sent a blessing A shower of a handful of stars...!

A little old church in England tumbled down A little old-fashioned church in London town A pile of mortar and brick appears Where it had peacefully stood for years A little old church is gone beyond repair But after a while a new church will be there
And we'll hear nothing but good Where the little old church in England stood Where the little old church in England stood... (repeat once)
You told me it was so A million dreams ago You held me in your arms A million dreams ago So many dreams have flown So many nights alone I guess I should have known It couldn't be...
I'll lock my memories here in my heart And here in my heart they'll stay And through the years They'll always be part, A part of that lovely day
Goodbye, good luck, old friend I'll smile and just pretend There was no end A million dreams ago
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 Berkeley Square I maybe right, I maybe 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 goodnight A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square...!

A pink cocktail for a blue lady And waiter, don't tell her it's from me For you see that lovely, lonely lady Whose thoughts seem far away Was once the toast of Vienna When Vienna was gay
You see, waiter, once she thrilled millions How crazy this world turned out to be A pink cocktail for a blue lady And fill this empty glass for me...
