The loveliness of Paris
Seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome
Is just another day
I've been terribly alone
And forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home
To my city by the bay

Chorus:
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
