Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
But as I walked through
The foggy streets alone
It turned out to be
The luckiest day I've known
[Verse 3]
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost it's charm
[Verse 4]
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn't past
Yes, for suddenly, baby, I saw you there
And through the foggy London Town
The sun was shining everywhere
[Verse 5]
A foggy day in London Town
Had me low and it had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The British Museum had lost its charm
[Verse 6]
How long, 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
[Verse 7]
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
