About I'll See You Again

"I'll See You Again" is a song by the English songwriter Sir Noël Coward. It originated in Coward's 1929 operetta Bitter Sweet, but soon became established as a standard in its own right and remains one of Coward's best-known compositions. He told how the waltz theme had suddenly emerged from a mix of car-horns and klaxons during a traffic-jam in New York. The song has been covered by a wide range of singers and groups, including Westlife, Mario Lanza, Carmen McRae, Rosemary Clooney, Eddie Fisher, Vera Lynn, Bryan Ferry, Bob and Alf Pearson and the Pasadena Roof Orchestra. Anna Moffo and Sergio Franchi recorded the song in duet on the 1963 RCA Victor Red Seal Album The Dream Duet' It was memorably arranged by Axel Stordahl for Frank Sinatra in his final Capitol Records album Point of No Return.

I'll see you again whenever spring breaks through again.
Time may lie heavy between, but what has been, is past forgetting.
Your sweet memory across the years will come to me.
Though my world may go awry, in my heart 'twill ever lie,

Just the echo of a sigh, goodbye.
All my life I shall remember knowing you,
All the pleasures that I found in showing you,
The different ways that one may face,

The changing light and changing shade,
Happiness that must die, melodies that must fly,
Memories that must fade, dusty and forgotten bye and bye.
