I Left My Heart In San FranciscoTony BennettWords by Douglass Cross and Music by George CoryPeak chart position # 19 in 1962Tony'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.The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gayThe glory that was Rome is of another dayI've been terribly alone and forgotten in ManhattanI'm going home to my city by the BayI left my heart in San FranciscoHigh on a hill, it calls to meTo be where little cable cars climb halfway to the starsThe morning fog may chill the air, I don't careMy love waits there in San FranciscoAbove the blue and windy seaWhen I come home to you, San FranciscoYour golden sun will shine for me
