About Layla

"Layla" is a song by rock band Derek and the Dominos and the thirteenth track from their album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, released in December 1970. It is considered one of rock music's definitive love songs, featuring an unmistakable guitar figure, played by Eric Clapton and Duane Allman, and a piano coda that comprises the second half of the song. Its famously contrasting movements were composed separately by Clapton and Jim Gordon. Inspired by Clapton's then-unrequited love for Pattie Boyd .

Layla Lyrics

[00:25.34] What'll you do when you get lonely
[00:29.46] And nobody's waiting by your side?
[00:33.71] You've been running and hiding much too long
[00:37.96] You know it's just your foolish pride
[00:40.68] Layla
[00:43.56] You've got me on my knees
[00:45.55] Layla
[00:47.83] I'm begging, darling, please
[00:49.54] Layla
[00:52.00] Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
[00:57.88] I tried to give you consolation
[01:01.84] When your old man had let you down
[01:06.09] Like a fool, I fell in love with you
[01:10.13] You turned my whole world upside down
[01:12.98] Layla
[01:16.01] You've got me on my knees
[01:17.76] Layla
[01:20.15] I'm begging, darling, please
[01:21.96] Layla
[01:24.42] Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
[01:30.05] Let's make the best of the situation
[01:34.33] Before I finally go insane
[01:38.52] Please, don't say we'll never find a way
[01:42.54] And tell me all my love's in vain
[01:45.20] Layla
[01:48.30] You've got me on my knees
[01:49.91] Layla
[01:52.62] I'm begging, darling, please
[01:54.23] Layla
[01:56.79] Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
[02:02.68] Layla (Layla)
[02:04.97] You've got me on my knees
[02:06.85] Layla
[02:08.90] I'm begging, darling, please
[02:10.83] Layla
[02:13.24] Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
[02:15.70]
