Que Sera, Sera

Comfort. Don't we all yearn for it at some point in our lives? My earliest memories of my mother giving me comfort was by just spending time with me - She on her sewing machine while I pretend played next to her. And she would sing this song to me "Whatever will be will be". It did not make much sense to me then. But over the years whenever I felt low I would remember her singing it to me. It was calm me down, immensely.

I would not associate this song with a Hitchcock movie. It was introduced in the Hitchcock film "The Man who Knew Too much". Doris Day's signature song become one of the most "close to the heart" songs especially for little girls.

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.

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.
