Pop Song 545 of 1000 'Layla' Derek and the Dominos Eric Clapton 1970

The song was inspired by a love story that originated in 7th-century persian and later formed the basis of The Story of Layla and Majnun by the 12th-century Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi,[1] a copy of which Ian Dallas had given to Clapton. The book moved Clapton profoundly, because it was the tale of a young man who fell hopelessly in love with a beautiful young girl, went crazy and so could not marry her.[2][3][4] The song was further inspired by Clapton's secret love for Pattie Boyd, the wife of his friend and fellow musician George Harrison. After Harrison and Boyd divorced, Clapton and Boyd eventually married.

See if you can spot this one
What will you do when you get lonely?
No one waiting by your side
You've been running hiding much too long
You know it's just your foolish pride
Layla
Got me on my knees

Begging darling please

Darling won't you ease my worried mind?
Tried to give you consolation

You turned my whole world upside down, Layla
Got me on my knees

Please don't say we'll never find a way
Tell me all my love's in vain
