I'll Be Seeing You
Chris Botti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In that small cafe, 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 find you in the morning' 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 morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
The lyrics of Chris Botti's song "I'll Be Seeing You" are about nostalgia and the hope for a reunion with someone who has left us. The song implies that, although the person has gone, their memory remains constant everywhere we go. The person who has left is embedded in our heart and all the familiar places that we visit. It could be a small cafe, a park, a children's carousel, a chestnut tree, or a wishing well. The song implies that the memories will probably never go away and the person will always be missed. Botti talks about finding the person in the morning sun, in the stars at night, in the moon, and every lovely summer's day.
The lyrics of the song are deeply evocative of someone who is missing somebody very dear and talking directly to that person. The song is also often interpreted as a tribute to the soldiers who served the US armed forces during World War II. World War II separated many soldiers from their homes and families; soldiers often went to faraway places and were unsure if they would ever make it back. The song conveyed a great deal of emotion and hope to these soldiers and worked as a light of hope for many.
