								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
