Words & Music by Irving Kahal (Lyrics) & Sammy Fain (Music), 1938
I'll be seeing you,
In all the old, familiar places,
That this heart of mine embraces,
All day through.
In that small cafe,
The park across the way,
The children's carousel,
The chestnut tree,
The wishing well.
I'll be seeing you,
In every lovely, summer's day,
And 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
Was a hit for Bing Crosby in 1944..

The story behind the song:Irving Kahal & Sammy Fain were a popular songwriting team in the 20s and 30s. Their big hits included "Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella" (1928) and "Wedding Bells Are Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine" (1929) - In my head, I can hear Brenda Lee rockin' "Wedding Bells". Perfect fit for her! "I'll Be Seeing You", on the other hand, was not a hit when released in 1938. It was written for a Broadway Musical called "Right This Way". The play closed after fifteen performances, so the song was not heard by very many people. However, a few years later in 1944, it was used in a movie of the same name starring Ginger Rogers and Joseph Cotten. Luanne Hogan (1919-2006) sang it for the movie soundtrack, but it was Bing Crosby's recording that went to number 1. The main reason for it's success was that it was now wartime and the lyric resonated with all families who had members far away. On a sad note, Irving Kahal died in 1942 at the age of 38. He didn't live to see the success of "I'll Be Seeing You".10 years ago

Brenda Lee and the spoken word: Brenda first heard someone speak in the middle of a song in the mid-fifties. It was an old time group, "The Ink Spots", who sparked her interest in the technique which is called "recitation" by singers. She liked the idea, but never used it until "I'm Sorry" in 1960. Soon recitations became a frequent and even expected feature of a Brenda Lee ballad. It is a bit incongruous that people bought the records and paid to see her shows to hear a great singer, but also wanted to hear her heartfelt recitations as we observe in the second verse of this song.10 years ago

Your embarrassed up-loader misspelled the High School in the second slide. Rather than issue a GM type recall of the video, a software patch was applied.10 years ago
