Let You Go
Salvatore Manalo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never want you out of these arms
I just want the feeling of your heart beat on my chest
Why did everything fall apart?
If we're speaking honestly, it feels like we're a mess

Can't we just ignore it
Is this all that
We get to spend with you?
Just another moment
That we're holding
Our baby dressed in blue

I don't want to let you go
This ain't the way it's supposed to go
Cause every day we're breaking when you're not home
Maybe there's a reason, can you let us know?

People say your eyes are like mine
Even if the rest of you are echoes of your mom
Can't we just pretend you'll be fine?
We placed your crib across the room to catch the morning sun

Can't we just ignore it
Is this all that
We get to spend with you?
Just another moment
That we're holding
Our baby dressed in blue

I don't want to let you go
This ain't the way it's supposed to go
Cause every day we're breaking when you're not home
Maybe there's a reason, can you let us know?

I don't want to let you go
This ain't the way it's supposed to go




Cause every day we're breaking when you're not home
Maybe there's a reason, can you let us know?

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
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
Whisper words of wisdom
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, 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
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

Last month my dad passed away and he always loved The Beatles, it grew onto me, so I was going to use Let It Be as the song for the funeral, after hearing your version I decided to use this. This is an absolute perfect cover, it's beautiful and very soulful, thank you.

Salvatore Manalo

I'm so sorry for your loss Callum. I also grew to love the Beatles because of my parents. Thank you for your kind words and im honored to have played a small role in celebrating your dad's life.
