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
