I'll Be Seeing You

Billie Holiday

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small café
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way

I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

    So beautiful. About the memory someone's imprinted on her mind, the affect they've had on her...

    This is a song about memory. Remember someone in everything long after they have left (died).

    Everytime I even think of this song I want to cry. It's very nostalgic of what you once had but can't have anymore, and the sadness of the memories. Heartbreaking. Unbelievable movie, too.

    Every time I hear this song, there are only two person I always think of, It's Allie and Noah. While they were dancing together across the road. That was so romantic. and Jimmy Duarte's version makes me sad, it was played when were already old, and then that tragedy I won;t forget, Noah was crying.

    I first heard this song in The Notebook. I fell in love with her voice (: [But I remember when we were studying the Depression, or something, i forget...anyways, my teacher played a song of hers...] Also, I remember listening to Stormy Weather, when I was watching some sort of documentary on different musical scores..like "Porgy" I think?

    i think it's about when you broke up with somebody and some time have already past and you start thinking about this person and remember only the good things. because only the good things are worth remembering.

    It's about a woman whose husband dies in WW2. Or the woman is singing.
