Que Sera, Sera

Song by Doris Day, music and lyrics by Jay Livingston, Ray Evans, sung in Alfred Hitchcock's film "The Man Who Knew Too Much".


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...

[repeat *]

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...

[repeat *]

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...

[repeat *]
Que sera, sera!
