Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom

Let it be

[Verse 2]

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom

Let it be

[Verse 3]

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be

[Verse 4]

And when the broken-hearted people

Living in the world agree

There will be an answer

Let it be

[Verse 5]

For though they may be parted

There is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer

Let it be

[Verse 6]

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

There will be an answer

Let it be

[Verse 7]

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be

[Verse 8]

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be

[Verse 9]

And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light tat shines on me

Shine until tomorrow

Let it be

[Verse 10]

I wake up to the sound of music

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom

Let it be

[Verse 11]

Yeah, let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

There will be an answer

Let it be

[Verse 12]

Oh, let it be, let it be, let it be

Leave it alone, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom

Let it be
