“We’ll Be Seeing You”

We'll be seeing you

In all the old familiar places

That this heart of mine embraces

All day and through

In that small cafe

The park across the way

The children's carousel

The chestnut trees, the wishing well

We’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

We'll find you in the morning sun

And when the night is new

We'll be looking at the moon

But I'll be seeing you

We'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

We'll find you in the morning sun

And when the night is new

We'll be looking at the moon

But We'll be seeing you
