A Foggy Day
Finding Sunshine in Fog: Ella Fitzgerald's Melodic Tale
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 familiar people were not around
I had that feeling of self-pity
Experiencing a sense of self-pity
What to do, what to do, what to do
Contemplating what actions to take
The outlook was decidedly blue
The overall mood or situation seemed gloomy
But as i walked through the foggy streets alone
Walking alone in the misty streets
It turned out to be the luckiest day i've known
Discovering it to be an unexpectedly fortunate day
A foggy day, in London town
Describing a misty day in London
Had me low, had me down
Feeling disheartened and low
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
Observing the morning with concern
British museum, had lost its charm
The British Museum losing its allure
How long i wondered,
Reflecting on the duration of this emotional state
Could this thing last
Questioning how long the low mood will persist
But the age of miracles, hadn't past
Believing in the possibility of miracles
For suddenly, i saw you there
Encountering someone unexpectedly
And through foggy London town,
Amidst the fog in London town
The sun was shining everywhere
The sun metaphorically shining everywhere
For suddenly, i saw you there
Reiteration of encountering someone unexpectedly
And through foggy London town,
Reiteration of the sun shining through the fog
The sun was shining everywhere
The sun symbolically brightening every corner
Everywhere
Expressing the pervasive brightness
Everywhere
Emphasizing the widespread illumination
Everywhere
Highlighting the ubiquity of brightness
