Billie Holiday canta "I'll be seeing you"

Cresci ouvindo Billie Holiday, com sua voz única, mas levei muito tempo até ver uma imagem dela, o que se deu em um especial se não me engano da TV Cultura. Fiquei impressionada com sua beleza e sobretudo sensualidade.

Outro dia ouvindo a lindíssima I'll be seeing you numa voz masculina, busquei a música na Web e a encontrei na voz de Billie. Primeiro segue a letra, depois o vídeo. E ao final o link para o web site official da diva. A música é de 1938, e a gravação de Billie de 1944. 

I'll be seeing you

Sammy Fain / Irving Kahal

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day and through
In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children carrousel
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 morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

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 morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

Sometimes Billie sung the next verse
------------------------------------

Cathedral bells were tolling
As our love sang on.
Was it the spell of Paris,
or just the April dawn?
Who knows if we will meet again,
Love with morning chiming sweet again
