65. Sing a New Song: Take a popular song off the radio and rewrite it as a poem in your own words.

Hardly a Song I heard on the radio more one I was listening to this morning…

I left my heart in San Francisco – By Tony Bennett

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

My Attempt:

Paris has never been the one

That makes me smile

The way you do.

Rome was fantastic

But time has come to pass

Old grey New York

Left me lonely beneath the skyscrapers

Take me home to my city

Where my heart stays

Take me home to my city

That Diamond by the bay.

I left my Heart in San Francisco

And I know she waits for me

High on a hill

I dream that I can see

Those little cable cars

With bells that ring for me

The fog may cloud my view

But I couldn’t care less

Because forever all I need is you.

For now my love waits there

In San Francisco

Below the harbor sign

Waiting for the day

When I come home to find

My Darling

San Francisco
