What will 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.
Begging darling please, Layla.
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Tried to give you consolation.
When your old man, he let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you.
You turned my whole world upside down.

Layla.
You've got me on my knees, Layla.
Begging darling please, Layla.
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Tried to give you consolation
Before I finally go insane
Please don't say we'll never find a way
Or tell me all my love's in vain

Layla.
You've got me on my knees, Layla.
Begging darling please, Layla.
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car.
Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far.
And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table.

I told you not to wander 'round in the dark.
I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park.
Then I told you 'bout our kid, now he's married to mabel.

Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down.
Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round?
And you better pick yourself up from the ground
Before they bring the curtain down,
Yes, before they bring the curtain down.

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love
