"I Would Like to See You Again" is a song written by Charlie Craig and Larry Atwood.

Kenny Rogers recorded it for his first solo album Love Lifted Me, produced by Larry Butler for United Artists Records. [2] [3]

The album, released in 1976, turned out, according to Kenny Rogers himself, "pretty much enevenful", yet, as C. Eric Banister put it in his book Johnny Cash FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Man in Black, "it included several decent songs, one of which was 'I Would Like to See You Again'" [2] that would later be covered by Johnny Cash.

Another known version of this song is by Del Reeves, it is included on his 1975 album With Strings and Things, [4] produced by Butler as well.[ citation needed]

Another cover was done by Don Williams. It was released as a B-side to his hit single " Lay Down Beside Me" in March 1979, and was the opening track for his 1978 album, Expressions.

Johnny Cash version

Cash's version gave its title to his Larry-Butler-produced album I Would Like to See You Again, [5] released in April 1978. [6]

It is a "thoughtful, nostalgic ballad". [7]

Put out as a single (Columbia 3-10681, with "Lately" on the opposite side) [8] from the upcoming album in February [6] or March 1978, [9] the song spent 13 weeks on U.S. Billboard's country chart, reaching number 12. [6] [10]
