Song of the Moment: I'll Be Seeing You (Jo Stafford)

         I'm not a stranger when it comes to 'songs from the past'. I have somewhat learned to like it. In fact I have my own classic favorites. I am familiar with classic songs because, I have rummaged before in my late aunt's collections of cassette tapes wayback. She has this original cassette of Patti Page's (best hits). The unforgettable song there was the 'cute' song, "How Much is That Doggie in the Window.?" (nice lil' puppy bark sound effect on the background as the song plays.) Maybe, you have not heard about the late Ms. Jo Stafford. For the younger netizens, here's a quick fact about her. From Wikipedia.

Jo Stafford, was an American traditional pop music singer and occasional actress whose career spanned five decades from the late 1930s to the early 1980s. Admired for the purity of her voice, she originally underwent classical training to become an opera singer before following a career in popular music, and by 1955 had achieved more worldwide record sales than any other female artist. 

        The song is entitled, "I'll Be Seeing You." When I listen to classic songs such as this. It just evokes a feeling of nostalgia, and still in some way it is kind of 'romantic' for me. (I just relate any old songs to thoughts and feelings of romance.) Anyway, each of us has a different understanding and definition of the word 'romantic'. This idea is just for myself. Anyway, without any further ado here's the video.

 

❀  I'll Be Seeing You   ❀                                                                      

I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through

In that small café, 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
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the mornin' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I'll find you in the mornin' sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
