"Que Sera Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)"

Que Sera Sera

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 young, I 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.

Note:
"Que Sera Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)" is a popular song written by the Jay Livingston (music) and Ray Evans (lyrics) songwriting team.
Published in 1956, it was featured in Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much (which Hitchcock had previously made in 1934) with Doris Day and James Stewart in the lead roles. Day's recording of the song for Columbia Records with catalog number 40704 was a hit in both the United States and the United Kingdom and, from 1968 to 1973, the theme song for the sitcom The Doris Day Show.
The song reached the Billboard magazine charts in July, 1956. Listed with the alternate title, "Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)," it received the 1956 Academy Award for Best Original Song. It was the third Oscar in this category for Livingston and Evans, who previously won in 1948 and 1950.
