A Foggy Day

Billie Holiday · Complete Masters 1933 - 1959 [2011]

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 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 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



A 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
