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