[Verse 1]
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
Well, I was terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
