I'll Be Seeing You
Françoise Hardy & Iggy Pop 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 song "I'll Be Seeing You" is an iconic love song sung as a duet between French singer Francoise Hardy and American singer Iggy Pop. The lyrics of the song are about the memories of a past love that remain etched in one's heart and the way in which they continue to show up in every aspect of one's life. The song begins with the lyric "I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places," which sets the mood for the entire song. The singer of the song explains that the memories of their lover continue to be present in every part of everyday life, from the small cafe they used to visit to the park across the way, the children's carousel, the chestnut trees, and the wishing well.
As the song continues, the singer expresses that their love continues to be present in every lovely summer's day and everything that's light and gay. The memories of the past love are so strong that they will always think of them that way. The song is a poignant reminder of the love that once was and a testament to the way that love stays with us long after it has ended.
In the final verse, the singer explains that they will find their lover in the morning sun and when the night is new, and that they will be looking at the moon but still see them. The song conveys a powerful message about the way that love endures through time and memory, and the way that those we love stay with us in everything we do and see.

I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
I'll see you in every place that holds a special memory for me
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
My heart is filled with thoughts of you all day long
In that small cafe, the park across the way
I'll see you in the places we used to go, like that little cafe and the park across the street
The children's carousel
I'll even see you in small details, like the children's carousel we once saw
The chestnut trees, the wishing well
You're everywhere I look, even down to the chestnut trees and the wishing well
I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day
Every beautiful and sunny day reminds me of you
In everything that's light and gay
In all the cheerful and bright things around me, you're there too
I'll always think of you that way
I'll never stop thinking of you in that light
I'll find you in the morning sun
I'll find you in the freshness and promise of each new day
And when the night is new
As the night begins again, I'll still see you
I'll be looking at the moon
Even as I gaze up at the moon, I'll still see you
But I'll be seeing you
You'll always be with me, no matter where or when

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

It isn't eternal. Nothing about humanity is eternal, not even Beethoven's Fifth or Shakespeare's plays. Alas.
