Que sera sera


When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
What will I be?
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?
Here's what she said to me
Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
What will be, will be!

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart
What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows?
day after day?
Here's what my sweetheart said
Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera
What will be, will be

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother
What will I be?
Will I be handsome?
Will I be rich?
I tell them tenderly
Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera sera What will be, will be!
Que sera sera!
