I'll Be Seeing You (song)

I'll Be Seeing You (song)

"I'll Be Seeing You" is a popular song from the Broadway musical Right This Way. 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 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."
The first four lines of the tune replicate the theme of the last movement of Gustav Mahler's Third Symphony. The song became notably associated with Liberace, as the theme to his television show of the 1950s.

This song was featured througout the 1944 movie also titled "I'll be Seeing You" starring Ginger Rogers and Joseph Cotten. This song was also featured in the end credits of the 1990 film "Misery", in the 1992 movie "Shining Through", in a few episodes of 's final season, and in the 2004 film "The Notebook" as the song for Noah and Allie. It was also featured in the closing credits for the final episode of "Beavis and Butthead".
