“I’ll be Seeing You” performed by Bing Crosby, Barry Manilow, Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart, Liza Minnelli, Anne Murray, or many others

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 trees 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,
And I’ll be seeing you.
