Let It Be
Aaron Neville Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
[Chorus]
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when all 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 may 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

[Chorus]

(Let it be, let it be)

[Chorus]

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine on 'til 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
(Just let it be)

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




(Let it be, let it be, oh, let it be)
There will be an answer, let it be

Look at this face I know the years are showing
Look at this life I still don't know where it's going
I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know
Look at these eyes they never seen what matters
Look at these dreams so beaten and so battered
I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know
So many questions still left unanswered
So much I've never broken through
And when I feel you near me, sometimes I see so clearly
That only truth I'll never know is me and you
Look at this man so blessed with inspiration
Look at this soul still searching for salvation
I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know
I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all I need to know
I don't know much but I know I love you
That may be all there is to know
