    Lyrics:
    All your wits
    All of the laughs
    Your grin
    Will stay in my heart
    Stay in my mind
    For all of time
    Bridges burn
    But I’ve seen the worst
    And I’m sure
    That I’ll be alright
    I’m doing just fine
    Only for a time
    Oh where do I go from here?
    Know I’m lonely, but have no fear
    Cause I’ll be seeing you
    Seeing you
    Wherever I go
    And I’ll be,
    Be with you,
    Be with you
    Wherever I’ll go
    Gone but your love
    Is all I have left
    I’ll stand tall
    You’ll stay in my arms
    Won’t stay in the dark
    Cause you’ll look for me
    Maybe I’m bound to break
    I wanted more
    I can’t resist
    The thought of you
    Lingers on me now
    Heaven knows no tears
    But if only you were here
    But I’ll be seeing you
    Seeing you
    Wherever I go
    I’ll be,
    Be with you,
    Be with you,
    Wherever I go
    Cause I’ll be seeing you
    Seeing you
    Wherever I go
    And I’ll be,
    Be with you,
    Be with you,
    Wherever I go

    I am Filipina-American, I am 66 years old, married with three adult children, and I am falling in love with you! The first and only time I ever voted for an American Idol contestant was in Season 2. That was Ruben Studdard and he captured me with his soulfulness. Iam, you have that soulfulness with an island flair. For many years, I gave up watching American Idol (because I would be disappointed with the results) but now here you are in Season 21. Ever since I heard you audition, you captivated me along with my extended family. I felt alive again, I was happy, I was sad and I was hopeful. This song is the culmination of all the songs you have sung to us and I'm excited to hear future songs from you. This coming Sunday, I will be wearing my Team Tongi t-shirt, along with two of my closest family members (one of them was diagnosed two months ago with leukemia and it was your music that helped her get through the pain). We will be rooting for you, Iam Tongi, because we need more goodness in this world.

    Iam, My son was born with a rare genetic disorder, he is now 8 years old and he is the happiest, sweetest kid. He can’t walk and can’t talk, but he lights up every room he’s in. This song just speaks to not just the loss you experienced with Rodney but the undying love of family that is truly special. The fact you don’t take anything for granted is just as much of a gift as your timeless voice.

His story, his songs have affected me in a way I cannot begin to express, but they have filled me with hope and renewed my faith in the world and in God. I can't stop crying.❤

    Iam Tongi, you are not just the winner of American Idol 2023, you are the winner of everyone's hearts that were captured by your singing. Many tears were shed but they were the kind of tears that weighed us down with the heaviness of our sorrows but thanks to you we are lighter in spirit and flying higher these days. Thank you for being a part of the American Idol experience and for sharing yourself with your growing legion of fans. I have no doubt that number will soar!

    IAM, thank you for being YOU and not trying to “copy” anybody else to further your own goals. You don’t try to “dress” the part or write the kind of song that will be popular. Even in this particular case, you chose the “subject matter” dear to your heart instead of something that so many others have chosen lately, just to sell your music. I absolutely love this video of you and seeing you sing this song. I listened to the story of your guitar and of course, tears came rolling. What an amazing gift from the artist who crafted it. You too, Iam, are a gift to humanity. What a legacy your dad, Mr. Rodney, left the world in you. I’m so proud for you, and yes, your dreams have come true and I’m so happy to have been a small part of your journey as a forever fan. (Tennessee)

    I lost my Dad 9 years ago. I wish I could tell you it gets easier. It does change and you become able to smile more, but the pain doesn’t go away. I lost my Mom 8 months ago…this song make me cry so hard, but it is so comforting at the same time. I am sending you so much love Iam! I hope your career takes off and your most amazing dreams all come true. I know your Dad is so proud of you. Hug your Mom really tight. Much love to her too!

    @IamTogi I have no idea if you will see my comment here but the release of this song is so timely for our family. My son-in-law passed away unexpectedly from cardiac arrest one week ago today; just four days after his 44th birthday. He leaves his wife (my daughter) and four children. We are heartbroken, but we know that we will see him again because of the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Thank you, Iam. May the Lord bless you. May you always be a light and an example of the pure love of Christ as you share your gift of music in this world. Much love, Iam. ❤

    My Grandmother just made it to 101 years old on June 1st, 2023, 3 days ago. She passed away at 3:05am.... on her 101st Birthday. When I found out she passed away with "I'll be seeing you" being played for her, I found this song on here. This is song will be my special song to play when I feel a cry coming. God Bless You Iam.

      Sorry for your loss. A 101 years is a long time and your family will be seeing her as Iam sings whenever you guys see something, someplace, some items, some foods that she used to cook etc. Just like how Iam could see his dad and hear him singing with him, your family has 101 years of memories to draw from. People can't be forgotten when the ones that remember them keeps them alive.

    This song bring out the emotional side of me because November first was the day my uncle died and it may not seem like a big deal cause it’s just an uncle but that uncle was one of the most nicest people I’ve ever met the day I found out was after school and he was in the hospital my mum and brother went and visited him in the hospital and I couldn’t because of school and I stayed with my nana since they were in traffic on the way back when my mum picked me up I was hesitant to ask how he is but when we got home I finally did and I said “oh mum how’s uncle villiami” and before my mum said anything my brother said “oh he died” and right then and there my heart for him shattered into a million pieces that day and I was sad but ok until the day of the funeral when it got time to see the body to say goodbye that’s what we do in the Tongan culture when I saw him my heart broke more and turned to dust as I thought and knew that that was the last time I could ever see him and after that when ever I tried to pieces back my heart that night I couldn’t I would go up with my little cousin and she cried all night then a two weeks after I found u and ur music relates so much to my life which is why I’m so grateful for an artist like u u take reality and make it into a song which I feel like is even more sad is that his birthday is the 21 of November and he would’ve turned 58
    Iam I’m really grateful for u and you’ve been a blessing on my grief really so thank you in a million ways ofa atu always and ur music❤❤❤

    So many haters in today's world. The love and respect that Iam Tongi showed from the first audition say's a lot about his upbringing, love for his family, culture and most important being true to himself. Iam knows where he came from and all he want's is to make his family proud. I watched his homecoming and to see all the love shared by the thousands especially the younger kids who came to see their "American IDOL". Yes sometimes we forget the word "Idol" in "American Idol. Like so many of us who will be voting Sunday night it's more than just someone up on stage performing it's the heart of the performer. "What The World Needs Now Is Iam Tongi" ... #TeamTongi... We Lava Lava You! Such a beautiful song "I'll Be Seeing You"... Soon you'll be priced back into Paradise❤🤙

      @@user-yt4ov2un2p Ronda, you are so right. IAM belongs to Jesus, he is a born-again believer,and the heart of Jesus is felt and heard in Iam.

    I love seeing Iam using the guitar a local artist gave him while he was home. The blue represents the ocean, the tribal band represents his Family. His Dad's name Rodney is at the heart/ opening of the guitar. Iam's name is on the Neck of the Guitar. Iam, the song & the guitar are just gorgeous! ! 🎸VOTE FOR IAM ❤
