- Verse:
- It only takes a tiny corner
of,
This great big world to make a place you love,
My home up on the hill, I find I love you still,
I've been away but now I'm back to tell you:
-
- Chorus:
- San Francisco, Open
your golden gate,
You let no stranger wait outside your door.
San Francisco, Here is your wandering one,
Saying I'll wander no more.
Other places only make me love you best,
Tell me you're the heart of all the golden west.
San Francisco, Welcome me home again,
I'm coming home to go roaming no more.
