    Song: Layla
    Artist: Derek and the Dominos
    Created by RockinBassPlayer3
    What'll you do when you get lonely
    And nobody's waiting by your side?
    You've been running and hiding much too long.
    You know it's just your foolish pride.
    Layla, you've got me on my knees.
    Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
    Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
    I tried to give you consolation
    When your old man had let you down.
    Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
    Turned my whole world upside down.
    Chorus
    Let's make the best of the situation
    Before I finally go insane.
    Please don't say we'll never find a way
    And tell me all my love's in vain.
    Chorus
    Chorus

      This song also makes me think of good times & sad times. Layla came out when I was 15 and had just started dating the guy of my dreams. I had loved Ron since I was 10 yrs old. But, he didn't even know that I existed until I was 15 and he was 17. Ron became the love of my life. We went out for 2 yrs until it all came to a sudden end one beautiful summer evening. Ron was killed in a car accident, and my world collapsed. He was only 19. Ron and I had listened to Layla at his house and mine nearly every day; it became our love song. Layla brings me many sweet memories too. R.I.P. my first love..you meant the world to me.

    Layla reminds myself of one girl that ended up getting married because of her parents pressuring her. She was almost 2 yrs older and married a good friend that I knew very much before her and I was child and he a teen. By the time they got married he was past 30 and I, 17. She still tried to flirt with me after marriage and children. Told her to forget it. Though she is my first infatuation love, still loved her.

    Thank you RockinBassPlayer3 for this awesome video!! Every time I hear this song it takes me back to 1976 when my father passed at the young age of 59 from a heart attack. I played this song on my stereo as I was getting ready for his funeral. I was a 19 year old young lady going thru a tough time in my life. It makes me smile and cry when I hear it now, I miss my father, but it brings me peace to know we will be together one day xx

    So I just heard this on the radio and I’m really glad I was able to find it by looking for some of the lyrics. The melodies are catchy, the lyrics have meaning, the riffs are superb, and then that piano part is just.. ah, the outro is a whole other song, and I love that about this song! Eric Clapton does not know how to be anything less than legendary.

      The Layla in this song won´t be just and give him a chance even if he´s a real angel towards her. Because she´s a religious muslim girl -and really proud over that! Meaning she´s really proud over following an unequal religion that says her brother can marry a girl from ANY of the world religions, while she must find a Mr muslim right guy to marry. If she doesen´t find her soulmate amongst muslim guys, then she won´t get to grow up sexually and emotionally in any form of sexual relationship and she will have to stay a smartass kid, far behind most others her age... All according to her religion.

    @rayofsunshine108 I listen to it, its great. Derek Clapton (haha) with a song for a beatles ex. Its a beautiful song... The guitar and piano and lyrics are sublime... Layla is one of my all time faves... and im a young one. 24
