The song "I'll Be Seeing You" was published in 1938, and since it was a song about nostalgia, it also became a WWII song. The song was in the Broadway musical "Right This Way" and the title of a movie that came out in 1944.
With time, the song became a hugely popular World War II-era song about love and distance. It was a number one hit for Bing Crosby in 1944. As you can see, there were things happening in the music field before rock and roll came.
Do these lyrics from this song ring a bell?
I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In that small café, the park across the way
The children's carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well

@luisadannointed I love the old songs; they are so sentimental and expressive.

I remember my mother had a crush on Liberace and she had the album that this song was on.
