In the Mood....................

A couple of days ago Gma and I went to this 1940's musical revenue at the Pikes Peak Center.  We went to the matinee and got there well before the doors opened.  I didn't want to rush and wanted plenty of time for resting if needed.   We had great seats and the place was packed with the largest number of elderly people that I have ever seen.  We sat next to 'Monica', a little 96 year old English WWII vet who had come to the concert by herself.  Everyone enjoyed the concert but they didn't sing the full version of Gma's favorite song, I'll Be Seeing You.  It was my mom and dad's 'song'.  When they sang all of the WWII songs at the end it brought tears to your eyes as all of the vets sung, clapped, and were recognized.  Monica leaned over and said that she had marched many a mile to 'Roll Out the Barrell'.  It was really a memorable afternoon with Gma.

I'll Be Seeing You
Lyrics:
I'll Be Seeing You lyrics
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 trees, the wishin' well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In every thing 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 see you in that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut trees, the wishin' well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In every thing 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
I'll be seeing you
