Hey There San Francisco by Eileen Torrez Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey there, San Francisco
Will you meet me where I am?
I come to you with open arms
Standing tall as I can stand
My dreams are just as golden
As the gates you've opened wide
To the countless seeking shelter by your side

[Chorus 1]
All I need is a sunny state
To lift my tired soul
I swear I'll shoulder all my old mistakes
Admit what I can't know
And hope you'll one day lead me home

[Verse 2]
Hold me, San Francisco
In the comfort of your bay
I've had my fill of wandering
And I need a place to stay
The plated paths they laid before me
Left me wanting something more
So I held out for the promise of your shore
[Bridge]
Oh, you've got emeralds in your hillsides
Oh, you've got diamonds in your sea
Oh, I've seen the amber in your sunset skies
And I wonder could you find room
In your skyline for me

[Chorus 2]
All I need is a tender heart
To catch me as I go
This time I vow to make a better start
Surrender all control
And maybe one day call you home
