Lyrics: I left my Heart in San Francisco

“I Left my Heart in San Francisco”
Tony Bennett

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 half way 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!

The song oozes longingly from his lips. And yet, the song itself is easy-going, like the city itself.

I am glad I grabbed this song.
