I'll Be Around
Red Norvo and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Red Norvo and His Orchestra's "I'll Be Around" are a poignant tribute to a lost love. The singer promises to continue seeing their former partner in all of the places they once frequented together, such as a small café, a nearby park, and even a children's carousel. The lyrics suggest a deep emotional connection that is difficult to break, even in the face of time and distance. The singer finds comfort in the memories of their past relationship, and imagines that their former partner will always be present in their thoughts and feelings. Even the most seemingly insignificant aspects of their past together, such as chestnut trees or a wishing well, hold deep meaning and significance for the singer.


The latter half of the lyrics describe the singer's ongoing efforts to remain connected with their former partner. They promise to always think of their love in the context of happy memories and carefree summer days. The singer is also hopeful that they will continue to encounter reminders of their former partner in the world around them, like the morning sun or the moon at night. Despite the pain of separation, the singer seems to find solace in the idea that their love will remain alive in their memories and in the world around them.
