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
