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
