Lyrics
I was a stranger in the city
I felt like an outsider in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
The people I knew were not around
I had that feeling of self-pity
I experienced a sense of feeling sorry for myself
What to do, what to do, what to do
I felt lost and unsure of what to do
The outlook was decidedly blue
The future seemed bleak or depressing
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
Walking alone in the foggy streets
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
Unexpectedly, it became the luckiest day I've experienced
A foggy day, in London town
A day with fog in London city
Had me low, had me down
Feeling down and disheartened because of the foggy weather
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
I observed the morning with great concern or worry
British Museum, had lost its charm
The British Museum lost its appeal or attractiveness to me
How long I wondered,
Expressing how long the negative situation might continue
Could this thing last
Questioning the duration of the unpleasant circumstances
But the age of miracles, hadn't past
Belief that extraordinary events were still possible
For suddenly, I saw you there
Suddenly, encountering the person being addressed
And through foggy London town,
Despite the fog, seeing the addressed person
The sun was shining everywhere
Even in the foggy town, feeling a sense of happiness or brightness
For suddenly, I saw you there
Reiteration of suddenly seeing the addressed person
And through foggy London town,
Reiterating the happiness despite the fog
The sun was shining everywhere
No specific meaning conveyed in this line
Everywhere
-Everywhere
-Everywhere
