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 resemblance between the tune's first four lines and a passage within the theme of the last movement of Gustav Mahler's Third Symphony (1896) was pointed out by Deryck Cooke in 1970 Featured throughout the 1944 movie also titled I'll be Seeing You starring Ginger Rogers and Joseph Cotten, the song became notably associated with Liberace, as the theme to his television show of the 1950s. It has also been featured in the 1989 Woody Allen film Crimes and Misdemeanors; in the end credits of the 1990 film Misery; in the 1992 movie Shining Through; in a few episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'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. During the 2009 Academy Awards presentation, Queen Latifah sang the song during the 'In Memoriam' tribute to members of the motion picture industry who had died during the previous year.

Answer 3

The song written by Sammy Fain and lyrics by Irving Kahal in 1938 was performed by Louanne Hogan for the movie of the same name "I'll Be Seeing You", which was filmed during the war in 1944 and the actual release date was Jan. 5, 1945, The cast included Ginger Rogers, Joseph Cotton and Shirley Temple. It was later recorded, probably more famously, by Billie Holliday in later years and Jimmy Durante also had a popular version in "Sleepless in Seattle" before he passed away. Like others have said though, there are numerous other musicians that have also recorded this romantic song. I hope this helps!
