Vera Lynn - I'll Be Seeing You download

My father spent four years delivering B17s and B25s to North Africa while my mother waited patiently listening to this song. What a nation we once were!

Reading the lovely comments and listening to this beautiful song brings bittersweet tears. I remember my Mom and Dad dancing to all the big band songs along with all the aunts, uncles, and cousins. My Mom has been gone 49 years and my Dad has been gone 28 years. I still feel the stab in my heart when I think of them. Just 2 months ago I lost my Uncle Johnny. He was 92 and a real WWII vet. He went in 24 days after D-day until the end. Losing him brought forth all the others that have passed before him in my family. He was the last one who knew me as a child. He was one of the best of men I have known. God bless all those who are left, including Dame Vera Lynn.

My Dad served in WWII and this was his favorite...all Soldiers related to this one..thank you for sharing a classic 

She should be played everywhere in public, specially in these day where hate is on the attack-.

"Oldies"? I was born after the War but I love and admire Vera Lynn, you don't have to be old to appreciate Her.

she is still alive. Little miracles

She can still make me cry - her voice  and the songs

Such beautiful comments. With all the bad news these days,  I simply wanted a break and went to play one of my all time favorite songs. I still can't determine which version is the best. They are all good. It's the song itself and the words which truly make a person feel he is human. Ms. Lynn did wonders for our World War II heroes but it does as much today when one feels a little down. I'll be seeing you, Just relax and listen. No song today can do that for us.

I am old 65 years but this is my favorite song

I'll be seeing you in all the old, familiar places That this heart of mine embraces all day through In that small cafe, the park across the way The children's carousel, the chestnut tree, the wishing well I'll be seeing you in ev'ry 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 morning sun and when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon but I'll be seeing you

I am 76 years old (young)  and I remember Vera Lynn during the war.  Mostly it was 'Blue birds over the white cliffs of Dover'.  To a little kid the war was quite exciting with all that was going on.  Thousand bomber raids, flying bombs and spitfires flying in anger.  The bombing raids were really exciting, a little kid could not perceive getting killed so I thought it really great.  My poor mother was having kittens with worry.

I'll Be Seeing You was one of the famous WWII songs, when wives or girl friends would play this song thinking of their far-away husbands/fiances who were away fighting the war. It brings back nostalgic memories for me of post war days to once again hear Dame Vera Lynn or Jo Stafford sing this lovely number. It was one of my favourites.

I'm nearly 80 and this takes me back to being a child with my long departed parents and I just can't stop the tears

Vera Lynn and Jo Stafford are the two greatest female vocalist of the that era.  They have incredible voices and they did pronounce each and every words they sang. 

WW2 songs of the 40ies the songs I will never forget                                                         John USN

Timeless, the original English rose, you will never go out of fashion for us Vera.
