I Will Miss You
I thought that I
Was like an island
Guess I was wrong
Guess I was wrong
I see your face
That I will miss you
Oh when you′re gone
My heart will sleep
Until you wake it
I hope and pray
It won't be long
This house is home
And when you leave it
Then I will miss you
Oh when you′re gone
I've been taking it
All for granted
It was there in
Front of my face
I couldn't see
Into understanding
And how could I know
How could I lose my way
I′ve been taking it
All for granted
I got no excuses for that
I couldn′t see
Into understanding
But how could I know
I wonder when you look back
Will you remember
Our road is straight
Our road is long
My heart is with you
And I will miss you
Oh I will miss you
I know I will miss you
Oh when you're gone
Una Mas's song "I Will Follow You" is a heartfelt ballad about missing someone, who has been an integral part of the singer's life. The song opens with the lyrics "I thought that I was like an island, guess I was wrong," which suggests that the singer felt isolated before the person they are singing about came into their life. But now that the person is leaving, the singer realizes how much they will miss them. The line "I see your face and then it hits me, that I will miss you" beautifully conveys the moment of realization that the person is about to leave.
The singer pleads for the person not to leave, saying that their heart will sleep until the person wakes it. The lyrics "this house is home, and when you leave it, then I will miss you" are particularly poignant because they suggest that the house will no longer feel like a home without the person in it. The singer acknowledges that they have taken the person for granted and have been blind to what was in front of their face. The line "how could I lose my way" suggests that the singer feels like they have lost their direction without the person around.
Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to an important person in the singer's life, who is about to leave. It conveys the feeling of loss, sadness, and regret that can accompany such a departure.

Tunes like this in golden house era (late 90's and early 2000's) will be never reproducible ever again...
