Qué Será Será Lesson

Que Será Será

[Doris Day sang this Oscar-winning song in 1956]

1
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.

CHORUS
Que será, será,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que será, será
What will be, will be.

2
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.

CHORUS

3
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.

CHORUS
