I Left My Heart In San Francisco lyrics

I Left My Heart In San Francisco
Tony Bennett
Words by Douglass Cross and
Music by George Cory

Peak chart position # 19 in 1962
Tony's
signature song. Surprisingly, this song is not even close to being his biggest
chart
success. He had a half-dozen other Top 20 hits that were initially
more popular.


The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The
glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten
in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay

I left my heart in
San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable
cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't
care

My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy
sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for
me
