1987 "Let It Be" Single
By Ferry Aid

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
And when the brokenhearted 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

[Chorus]
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
There will be an answer, let it be
(Let it be, whoa-yeah!)

[Verse 3]
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shines on 'til tomorrow, let it be
Then I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be! let it be...

[Chorus]
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisperin' words of wisdom, let it be
Ooh!

[Verse 4]
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, “let it be”

[Chorus]
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be (let it be!)
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

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

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be

The front part is that Mel and Kim they look styley the 80s look.Im surprised one half of the greatest songwriter ever to do Let It Be 17years after from the greatest group ever songs being done in a charity way.Only the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s could be done so many faces just after Band Aid, USA For Africa,Live Aid,Artists Against Apartheld and many more being done all around the World amazing they could get a gather of Artists.Then there was also West Coast Rap Allstars
