"You'll See" is a song by American recording artist Madonna from her ballads compilation Something to Remember (1995). The album was released with the intention of toning down the image of Madonna, who was being heavily criticized at the time. The singer decided to work with producer David Foster, who co-wrote and produced three songs with Madonna in September 1995. "You'll See" was released on October 30, 1995, by Maverick Records as the lead single from the album. An acoustic pop ballad, "You'll See" features instrumentation from percussion, tremolo guitar and piano, while lyrically it speaks of independence after end of a love affair. The song received positive reception from contemporary critics, with reviewers praising Madonna's vocals. The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) honored it as the Most Performed Song, in their annual ASCAP Pop Awards for 1997.
"You'll See" was commercially successful, reaching the top five in Austria, Canada, Finland, Italy and the United Kingdom. The single also managed to peak at number six on the US Billboard Hot 100 making it Madonna's 29th top-ten single on the chart. An accompanying music video was directed by Michael Haussman, whose story line was a sequel to Madonna's previous music video for "Take a Bow". An alternate Spanish version, written by Argentine singer-songwriter Paz Martinez, also received a music video, and was included on the Latin American edition of Something to Remember. Madonna has performed the song live on the British television program Top of the Pops and on selected US shows of her 2001 Drowned World Tour. On 2009, Scottish singer Susan Boyle included a cover of the song on her debut studio album I Dreamed a Dream.

"Crois-moi ça durera" is a 1962 hit song by Gilbert Bécaud, with lyrics by Pierre Delanoë. The lyrics begin "Crois-moi crois-moi ça durera, On s'aimera on s'aimera très fort."
The French original was covered by Isabelle Aubret, by Les 3 Ménestrels, by Les 6 de Paris (all 1962) and by Paul Piot et son Orchestre (1963). The French pianist Jean-Michel Damase arranged the song into a 22 minute piece for orchestra in 1968. Later covers included Nana Mouskouri.
New English lyrics were written by Norman Gimbel. The song was covered as "You'll See", in 1965 by Nat King Cole as the B-side of "Wanderlust". Nat King Cole also recorded the French original for Capitol France in 1965 for the 4-song EP Nat King Cole Chante En Français. The EP also contained "Je Ne Repartirai Pas (Love)" by Bert Kaempfert, Milt Gabler, and Jean Delleme Rate, "Les Feuilles Mortes" by Joseph Kosma and Jacques Prévert and "Le Bonheur, C'est Quand On S'aime" by Georges Coulonge and Claude Henri. In 1967 Nat King Cole's English B-side was released by Capitol Records on the posthumous collection The Beautiful Ballads. Bécaud himself recorded the English version "You'll See" on Monsieur Gilbert Bécaud.
BENNY
Hey you bum - yeah, you, move over
Get your ass off the Range Rover
MARK
That attitude toward the homeless is just what
Maureen is protesting tonight
BENNY
Maureen is protesting
Losing her performance space
Not my attitude
ROGER
What happened to Benny
What happened to his heart
And the ideals he once pursued
BENNY
The owner of that lot next door
Has a right to do with it as he pleases
COLLINS
Happy birthday, Jesus!
BENNY
The rent
MARK
You're wasting your time
ROGER
We're broke
MARK
And you broke your word - This is absurd
BENNY
There is one way you won' t have to pay
ROGER
I knew it!
BENNY
Next door, the home of Cyberarts, you see
And now that the block is re-zoned
Our dream can become a reality
You'll see boys
You'll see boys
A state of the art, digital, virtual interactive studio
I'll forego your rent and on paper guarantee
That you can stay here for free
If you do me one small favor
MARK
What?
BENNY
Convince Maureen to cancel her protest
MARK
Why not just get an injunction
Or call the cops?
BENNY
I did, and they're on stand by
But my investors would rather
I handle this quietly
ROGER
You can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city
Then watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' on TV!
BENNY
You want to produce films and write songs?
You need somewhere to do it!
It's what we used to dream about
Think twice before you pooh-pooh it
You'll see boys
You'll see boys
You'll see - The beauty of the studio
That lets us do our work and get paid
with condos on the top
Whose rent keeps open our shop
Just stop the protest
And you'll have it made
You'll see - or you'll pack
ANGEL
That boy could use some Prozac
ROGER
Or heavy drugs
MARK
Or group hugs
COLLINS
Which reminds me -
We have to make a detour tonight
Anyone who wants can come alone
ANGEL
Life Support's a group for people
coping with life
You don't have to stay too long
MARK
First I've got a protest to save
ANGEL
Roger?
ROGER
I'm not much company you'll find
MARK
Behave!
ANGEL
He'll catch up later - He's just got
other things on his mind
You'll see boys
MARK & COLLINS
We'll see boys
ROGER
Let it be boys!
COLLINS
I like boys
ANGEL
Boys like me
