In the darkness a vision stirs
I dream you are near
Dancing shadows on the wall
Your figure appears
You are the lamp my light
In the still of the night
The flame burning bright
Deep inside my soul
Chorus
Layla, I long for your touch, won't you come to me
Layla, I search in the night
For light that shines in your eyes
Where are you my love?
Oh my, oh my Layla
When I awake all alone
I feel you are there
And I know someday
I'll find you somewhere
You are the lamp my light
In the still of the night
The flame burning bright
Deep inside my soul
Chorus
My heart is bound in these chains
No escaping the rapture of tender love
I yearn for a glimpse
One look in your eyes
From the image of you I arise
Chorus
