Question: How do you do?
Time: Hopefully soon.

lyrics

I was not well, I was really bad.
"What am I doing here?! Am I mad?!"
I've been waiting to see you for years,
to share a couple of words, at least,
but then some evil took over
and I was not really sure
that I'd be able to give you a smile
give you a smile in London,
that I'd be willing to hug
give you a hug in London,
that I'd be close enough
to say "hello!" in London...

The pain in my back made me feel like muck,
yummy pictures of food gave me a vomiting mood.
The music I loved for years madly
was hurting my ears badly.
So, I started to think
I'll not be there by night
and I'll be missing my chance
to give you a smile
give you a smile in London,
to shake your hand
shake your hand in London,
to ask you "how do you do?"
and "how is life in London?"

Something whispered in my ear:
"It's not time for panicking, dear!
Here is what I think you need to do:
share your feelings with a friend,
with one who can understand.
It won't take long - just 15 minutes will do."

And I gave you a smile
I gave you a smile in London,
And I gave you a hug
you a hug in London,
And I was close enough
I was close enough in London,
I said "hello!", I said "hello!" in London...
