I was a stranger in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity
What to do? What to do? What to do?
The outlook was decidedly blue
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
A foggy day, in London town
Had me low, had me down
I view the morning, with much alarm
The British Museum, had lost its charm
How long I wondered, could this thing last
But the age of miracles hadn't past
For suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town, the sun was shining everywhere
