QUE SERA SERA

~WHATEVER WILL BE, WILL BE~

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 song?"

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
