Lyrics
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother
What will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be richHere’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 beWhen I grow up and fall in love
I’ll ask my sweetheart
What lies ahead
Will there be rainbow day after day
Here’s what he’ll say to meQue sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will beWhen I have children of my own
They’ll ask their mother
What will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
I’ll tell them tenderlyQue 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
