Tony Bennett's, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco"
The Lyrics:
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.
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.
Why:
Refers to Paris, France, Rome, Italy, and Manhattan island in New York City. Then alludes to San Francisco, California as "my city by the bay", and actually names it in the following line.
