A Foggy Day
A Serendipitous Encounter in Foggy London
Lyrics
I was a stranger in the city
I felt like a newcomer in the city
Out of town were the people I knew
The familiar people were out of reach or absent
I had that feeling of self-pity
I experienced a sense of self-pity
What to do, what to do, what to do
Feeling lost and uncertain about what to do
The outlook was decidedly blue
The overall situation seemed gloomy or depressing
But as I walked through the foggy streets alone
While walking alone in the foggy streets
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
It unexpectedly became the luckiest day
A foggy day, in London town
Describing the setting as a foggy day in London town
Had me low, had me down
The weather and circumstances made the person feel down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
Expressing concern while observing the morning
British Museum, had lost its charm
Suggesting that even the British Museum had lost its appeal
How long I wondered,
Reflecting on the duration of the negative feelings
Could this thing last
Questioning how long the negative situation would endure
But the age of miracles, hadn't past
Believing in the possibility of miracles or positive changes
For suddenly, I saw you there
Experiencing a sudden sighting of someone significant
And through foggy London town,
In the midst of the foggy city, the presence of the person brightened the day
The sun was shining everywhere
Despite the fog, the sun metaphorically shone everywhere
For suddenly, I saw you there
A repetition emphasizing the sudden encounter with someone special
And through foggy London town,
Reiterating the positive impact of the encounter in the foggy city
The sun was shining everywhere
Emphasizing the pervasive brightness throughout the city
Everywhere
Highlighting the widespread and overwhelming positivity
Everywhere
Reinforcing the notion that positivity is present everywhere
Everywhere
Continuing to emphasize the ubiquity of positivity
