Lyrics - Que Sera Sera by Jay Livingstone

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 was just a child in school,
I asked my teacher,
What will
I try?
Should
I paint pictures
Should
I sing songs?
This was her wise reply:
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!
