Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics)
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 and had me down,
I viewed the morning with 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.
