There’s no cause to think that I won’t stay;
Haven’t I been with you all the way?
There’s no time like now to make amends.
After all, we are more than friends.
This could be the time for you and me.
We could go wherever we should be.
So don’t put words between us we shouldn’t say,
And don’t be acting halfway
When you know we’re all the way.
There are times when I don’t see the light.
I don’t know if what I do is right.
But when I’m wrong, it’s never meant for you,
So don’t confuse my love with what I do.

Love your description of the album & song. So true! This one will always get overlooked by the majority of Clapton fans for obvious reasons. I love his gentler melodies and songs as well. 461 Ocean Boulevard is very similar in that sense. The anniversary release of Slowhand has a Gordon Lightfoot cover ("Looking At The Rain") on it ~ beautifully done.
After all these years this is still such a sweet song. I remember being 18 and making love to this album, fumbling around in the dark like the kid I was with the turntable and her bra, Clapton's voice mixing perfectly with her perfume in my brain. Jesus, that was so long ago...
Both versions are great but I find Eric's to be more emotional than Don's. It's like he knows how screwed up he was back then and is singing about it in a quiet sort of way. Such a good song either way.

Lost the love of my life 2 months ago. This was our song at our reception. Rips me apart to hear it now, every time. I love you babe, always and forever!
RE: star 1 laufer.. Says the troll poser by the name "star 1 laufer" that has a fake YT channel account without any content on it taking up too much videos comment space that real YT channel users post on.
