Memorial Day Sentiment

Heard repeatedly on the Mall throughout the weekend's WWII Memorial festivities this weekend:

I'LL BE SEEING YOU
(Irving Kahal / Sammy Fain)

Bing recorded "I'll Be Seeing You" Feb. 17, 1944. It entered the charts two months later, where it stayed for 24 weeks, topping the charts for 4 weeks.

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

------ instrumental break ------

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

One of the many moving touches found this weekend during the WWII Memorial dedication events in Washington.
