You get what you need when you need it.
 
I was having a rough day today with obsessing. Then I turned on the radio and this somg was playing...Let it be


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
Ah let it be, yeah 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 on 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
Yeah let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah let it be
Oh there will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Ah let it be, yeah let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Thank you. Goofy, crazy me. I just sang this and took out the old Martin guitar we bought for my husband a couple decades ago. It has a beautiful sound, in spite of the fact that I don't know how to play it. :D

Involved -- that is funny. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who sometimes hears lyrics wrong. We sang this in junior high choir. It was a small school and they must not have been allowed to throw anyone out! I still can't carry a tune.

I heard this song just the other day and it held more meaning for me now than ever before also...thanks for sharing.

This is the song I had played as my father casket left the church.

It brings beautiful and peace bearing tears to my eyes every time I hear it. When I got to actually sing it WITH Sir Paul in concert at Wrigley Field in Chicago, holding my daughters and husbands hands, well that moment was nothing less that sheer perfection...

It's amazing how songs touch our souls. Thanks.

ok, I tried Pandora, set for The Beatles.

All I heard was "I am the walrus, coo-coo-ca-choo."

I am pretty sure that was MY message.

Ha hammer...talk about a mixed message! Thanks for the laugh!
