A FOGGY DAY
(George & Ira Gershwin)

Verse
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

Refrain
A foggy day in London town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
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.
