A Foggy Day – SIMPLE PAST VERBS

"A Foggy Day" is a popular song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin, introduced by
Fred Astaire in the 1937 film A Damsel in Distress.

I was a stranger in the city

Out of town _______________(TO BE – SIMPLE PAST) the people I knew
I had that feeling of self-pity, What to do?, what to do?, what to do?
The outlook __________ (TO BE – SIMPLE PAST) decidedly blue
But as I __________ (WALK – SIMPLE PAST) through the foggy streets alone
It __________ (TURN OUT – SIMPLE PAST) to be the luckiest day I've known
A foggy day, in London town, had me low, had me down
I__________ (VIEW – SIMPLE PAST) the morning, with much alarm
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 __________ (SEE – SIMPLE PAST) you there
And through foggy London town the sun was shining everywhere

I want to leave my footprints
On the sands of time
Know there was something there
and something that I left behind (1)
When I leave this world
I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember
So they won't forget.
I was here, I lived, I loved.(2)
I was here, I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here. I want to say I'll live each day
Until I die. And know that I had something (3)
In somebody's life. The hearts that I have touched
Will be the proof that I leave.
That I made a difference (4)
And this world will see. I was here. I lived, I loved
I was here. I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here. I lived, I loved
I was here. I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here. I just want them to know
That I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone to happiness
Left this world a little better (5)
Just because I was here. I was here. I lived, I loved
I was here I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I wanna leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here. I lived, I loved. I was here
I did, I've done. I was here. I lived, I loved
I was here. I did, I've done. I was here
*Wanna = want to
