The Ioveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay 
 The glory that was Rome is now yesterday 
 I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan 
 But 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 way halfway to the stars 
 The morning fog, it may chill the air, no, I don't care   
 My love waits there 
 That's why I gotta go to San Francisco 
 Above the blue and the windy 
 Windy, windy, windy sea 
 When I come home to you, baby, San Francisco 
 Your golden sun has got to, got to shine for me 
 On, help me   
 When I come home to you, baby, San Francisco 
 Your golden sun got to, got to, got to, got to 
 Got to shine for me 
 Oh, help me, I believe that it will 
 I can hear my train callin' 
 I can hear my train callin'
