"I Still See You" is a song written by Michel Legrand with lyrics by Hal Sharper which was first a song for the American singer-songwriter Scott Walker in 1971. The song was Walker's fourth solo single in the UK. The song was produced by John Franz with Bob Cornford credited as musical director. The song was the love theme for the 1970 British romantic drama film The Go-Between, directed by Joseph Losey.

Walker's recording of "I Still See You" failed to chart, his first to miss the UK Singles Chart since the Walker Brothers' début "Pretty Girls Everywhere" in 1965.

The single is notable for including one of Walker's few non-album b-sides, "My Way Home". Scott Walker did not record another original composition for another seven years. The production and musical direction of the b-side was also credited to John Franz and Bob Cornford respectively.
