Billie Holiday - I'll be seeing you (with lyrics)

Показать описание

"I'll Be Seeing You" is a popular song, with music by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Irving Kahal. Published in 1938, it was inserted into the Broadway musical Right This Way, which closed after fifteen performances. In the musical it was performed by the singer Tamara Drasin, who had a few years earlier introduced "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes". The song is a jazz standard, and has been covered by many musicians.

The musical theme has emotional power, and was much loved during World War II, when it became an anthem for those serving overseas (both British and American soldiers). The lyrics begin, in Bert Ambrose's and Vera Lynn's recorded versions, with a preamble:

Cathedral bells were tolling 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...

She sings this song with such grace and beauty. My husband passed away in August of this year and this is my first Christmas without him. This song really speaks to me now.

After my Dad died, Mom put the lyrics "In Memorial" to him every year in the paper. Now that Mom is gone too, I do fact, I just wrote it as my status on social media. Elegance and grace.

Historical. NASA sent this as their final transmission to their Opportunity rover when they lost contact with it in 2018.

I wish I had more time to tell her about ourselves. I will play this song again for Thanksgiving and hope that wherever you are, remember to call your mom and dad and tell them you love them ❤
