Lyrics
Verse 1
Mornings on Carnaby, she strolls through the mist
Clipboard in hand, never a soul she’s missed
Quick with a pencil and a coat buttoned tight
Lady Veronica brings warmth to the night
She knows all the neighbors, remembers their names
Carries hope in her handbag for those tamed by pain
With a gentle hello and her sensible shoes
She finds little ways to brighten the blues
Chorus
Lady Veronica saves the day again
Big bright glasses and her jacket with a pin
Kindest eyes behind the clever frame
Changing the lives of folks who lost the game
Post-Chorus
La la la la la la la
She’s a friend to everyone
Verse 2
She brings tea and tulips to my mother’s door
Taught my brother how to smile once more
In the sunlit square she’s planting seeds
Where the sadness grows, she pulls the weeds
Pre-Chorus
Round the corners of the city
She finds the broken souls
Her laughter in the morning
Turns heavy hearts to gold
Chorus
Lady Veronica saves the day again
Big bright glasses and her jacket with a pin
Kindest eyes behind the clever frame
Changing the lives of folks who lost the game
Post-Chorus
La la la la la la la
She’s a friend to everyone
La la la la la la la
And her work is never done
Bridge
Down by Regent’s Park, where the lilies grow
She mends a frightened heart of someone letting go
With a laugh like a meadow, and her skirts all bright
Lady Veronica puts the worst to right
Instrumental Solo
(Harpsichord, oboe, bassoon, and flute interlude)
Verse 3
She knows when to listen, she knows when to fight
Knocks on every door, always polite
Silver brooch sparkling, promises kept
She gives more to others than she’s ever met
Chorus
Lady Veronica saves the day again
Big bright glasses and her jacket with a pin
Kindest eyes behind the clever frame
Changing the lives of folks who lost the game
Post-Chorus
La la la la la la la
She’s a friend to everyone
La la la la la la la
London’s shining from her love
Outro
Under lamp-lit pavement where the rainbows bend
Lady Veronica walks the lane again
She tucks my worries safe behind her smile
Leaving kindness trailing every mile
While the city’s spinning fast and wild
She’s the patient mother to every child
Hand in hand with hope until the dawn
Her gentle voice says, carry on
Post-Chorus
La la la la la la la
She’s a friend to everyone
La la la la la la la
Let her kindness linger on
Instrumental Outro
(Flute and harpsichord weave through the twilight air)
