I Left My Heart In San Francisco Tony Bennett Words by Douglass Cross and Music by George Cory
Peak chart position # 19 in 1962 Tony'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 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
