Let It Be

In March 1970, the single 'Let It Be' a Paul McCartney's epic was released before the album (May 1970). It was deliberately recorded as the Beatles' swansong. However it was recorded in Jan 1969 and no one had any idea that it was going to be the last single. Paul wrote it out of the general feeling of despair as the Beatles began to fall apart. John preferred to spend more time with Yoko Ono, George was discouraged that his songs were rejected and Ringo even took off for a holiday during the recording of the White Album. John Lennon described it as 'hell to go through the six weeks of misery' in completing the album. In the 'Let It be' film, the last performance of the Beatles on the roof of Apple's office was recorded. As usual John in his pointed sense said " I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and i hope we pass the audition."

LyricsWhen I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Yeah, There will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
(instrumental break)

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me.
Shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be no sorrow, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. hoooo' hoooo'
