Que Sera, Sera [What Has to Be, Will Be] lyrics

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 was just a child in school,

I asked my teacher what should 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.

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.

What will be, will be.

Que sera, sera...
