Billie Holiday
A Foggy Day
[Intro]
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
[Verse 1]
A foggy day, in London town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with such 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
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Foggy day, in London town
Had me low, had me down
I viewed the morning with such 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 upside down
