The song describes a separation between two people, possibly due to circumstances like the war or simply being apart.

The lyrics also emphasize that the protagonist will continue to think of their love interest in every lovely summer's day, in everything that's light and gay. This shows that the memories and the love they shared will continue to bring joy and happiness in their absence. The song ends with the promise of finding the person in the morning sun and when the night is new. The moon acts as a symbol of their connection and the protagonist assures their love interest that they will always be with them in spirit. Overall, "I'll Be Seeing You" is a poignant and heartfelt song that captures the feelings of longing, nostalgia, and hope for a future reunion with a loved one.
