As anyone in the know knows, this song is about Clapton's courtship for Patty Boyd, then George Harrison's wife.
To summarize the lyrics, the narrator begs a woman (Layla) to leave her lover and come to her.
This text is taken from a passage in "Leyla and Majnun" where Majnun begs Leyla to return to her betrothed to another man.
It actually happened between Eric Clapton and Patty Boyd, the wife of Beatles member George Harrison.
Everyone knows it up to now, but in fact, from 2 minutes and 10 seconds on, you can hear that the song doesn't end and goes to a different genre altogether.
Actually, the day before, Eric Clifton drank a lot because of Patty Boyd and fell asleep while recording
There is a story that the band members who had to end the song, who did not know what to do, finished it by improvising LolLol
