Jean Sorf sings I'LL BE SEEING YOU

Another from the heart rendition from the amazing 81 year old phenomenon, Jean Sorf.

Joel Baker on the keys in Palm Springs at Blame It On Midnight cabaret.

"I'll Be Seeing You" is a popular song from the Broadway musical Right This Way, which closed after fifteen performances. Its music was written by Sammy Fain, the lyrics by Irving Kahal. The song was published in 1938.

The musical theme has emotional power, and was much loved during World War II. The lyrics begin, in Ambrose's recorded version, with a preamble:


Cathedral bells were calling and our hearts sang on;
Was it the spell of Paris or the April dawn?
Who knows if we shall meet again,
But when the morning chimes ring sweet again,
I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places...

As the song develops, the words take a jaunty commonplace of casual farewell and transform it by degrees, to climax with

"...and when the night is new,
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you."
