Frank Sinatra - A Foggy Day (In London Town)

Frank Sinatra - A Foggy Day (In London Town)

I was a stranger in the City
Out of town where 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 dreary streets alone
It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known

A foggy day, in London town
Had me low, and it had me down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
The British museum, it lost it's charm

How long I wondered, could this thing last
But the age of miracles, it hadn't past
For suddenly, I saw you standing right there
And in foggy London town
The sun was shining, shining, shining, shining, shining everywhere

How long I wondered, could this thing possibly last
But the age of miracles, it hadn't past
For suddenly, I saw you right there
And in foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere

[CRANWELLPOACHER]

This song holds a certain poignancy in my heart. My father sang a very quiet, gentle rendition of it whilst in a hospital bed a few weeks ago. I had never heard him sing much, least of all Frank Sinatra...he passed away a few days find myself humming or singing it myself now.

I’ve just started listening to Sinatra properly, I used to listen to songs here and there, but I never appreciated his voice before, luckily I’m 15 so I have many years in the future to appreciate his music more.

What a fabulous recording, which captures every nuance of Sinatra's wonderful timbre!

[AlexisOrtizGatoYbeans]

Would always hear this playing at the Resort I used to work for and even to this day brings back good memories working there, RIP a true singer with passion in his songs.

[ComposerKuandohan]

Ahhh, what a beautiful song.
I love the unfolding story to where the sun was finally shining because he saw the women of his dreams.
I don't care if people say it's cheesy or whatever, it's a great progression!

[EricFontaineJazz]

I can't believe I've never heard this version... ♫ A Foggy Day has regained its charm ♫

[yvettemorton]

Lovely song that tells a story. Sinatra delivery right on the mark.

[vivianpowell]

This recording is from Frank's Capitol Records album "Songs for Young Lovers". I first discovered Frank Sinatra when I was in high school, and this was the first of his albums I bought, about 8 years after its release. My favorite song on the album is the lovely "Violets For Your Furs".

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

(Chorus)
A foggy day in London town
Had me low and had me down
I viewed the morning with alarm
The 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

A foggy day in London town
It had me low and it had me down
I viewed the morning with much alarm
The 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 upside-down!

[jerryperry]

New York, New York

Frank Sinatra legend !

[jonasbeadle]

I'm listening to this song because it is foggy where I am right now.

[CaptainRetroStation]

For the longest time, the only version of this song that I had ever heard of was from Animal on The Muppet Show! He only sung the title while drumming wildly, so that’s the only lyrics (and way of singing it) I’ve ever known! 😂
