It was written by Jay Livingston
|
and Ray Evans for Alfred Hitchcock's
|
1956 re-make of his 1934 film
|
"The Man Who Knew Too Much" starring
|
Doris Day and
|
James Stewart.
|
|
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!"
