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, When I grew up and fell in love. I asked my sweetheart, What lies ahead? Will there be 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, Now I have children of my own. They ask their mother, What will they be? Will I paint pictures? Will I write books? 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.
