Let It Be - The Beatles

When 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 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 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" is a song by the Beatles, released in March 1970 as a single, and (in an alternate mix) as the title track of their album Let It Be. It was written by Paul McCartney, but credited to Lennon-McCartney. It was their final single before McCartney announced his departure from the band (by that time, Lennon had already left). Both the Let It Be album and the US single "The Long and Winding Road" were released after McCartney's announced departure from and subsequent break-up of the group.

"Let It Be" holds the number-one spot on "The Fans' Top 10" poll included in The 100 Best Beatles Songs: An Informed Fan's Guide by Stephen J. Spignesi and Michael Lewis. The song is number three in the 100 Best Beatles Songs list, only behind "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "A Day in the Life", which is number one.

In 1987, the song was recorded by charity supergroup Ferry Aid (which included McCartney). It reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks and reached the top ten in many other European countries.
