My Favorite Song

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

I like this song because I love San Francisco. This song makes me feel again remember San Francisco. Last month, I went with my friends and so beautiful trip. This city is full of spiritual energy. The song is feel inner peace for me. The best think a bout this song is good music and best lyrics. The reason this song is popular is so emotional and Bennett is good voice. My favorite line in the song is When I come home to you, San Francisco, Your golden sun will shine for me.  The line meaning, the city is my home and always I feel good my home, darling or God lively sun is only for me, because sense myself. When I listen to this song, I remember California and San Francisco and Golden Gate so full happy days.
