A Foggy Day

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 It had me low and it had me down I viewed 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 passed For, suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy London town The sun was shining everywhere A foggy day in London town It had me low and it had me down I viewed 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 passed For, suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy London town The sun was shining upside-down! --- A Foggy Day - Lester Young
