It’s Too LateDerek and the Dominos

Released: November 9, 1970

Songwriter: Chuck Willis

Producer: Derek and the Dominos Tom Dowd

It's too late, she's gone
It's too late, my baby's gone
Wish I had told her she was my only one
It's too late, she's gone

It's a woman that cries
So I guess I've gotta dry my eyes
Yes, I will miss her more than anyone
It's too late, she's gone

She's gone (she's gone), yes she's gone (she's gone)
She's gone (she's gone), my baby's gone (she's gone)
She's gone (she's gone), yes she's gone (she's gone)
Where can my baby be?

And I wonder does she know
When she left me, it hurt me so
I need your love babe, please don't make me wait
Tell me it's not too late

She's gone (she's gone), yes she's gone (she's gone)
She's gone (she's gone), my baby's gone (yeah she's gone)
She's gone (she's gone), ooh yeah she's gone (she's gone)
Where can my baby be?

And I wonder does she know
When she left me, it hurt me so
I need your love babe, please don't make me wait
Tell me it's not too late

Derek and the Dominos

Derek and the Dominos were a blues rock jam band formed in the spring of 1970 by guitarist and singer Eric Clapton, keyboardist and singer Bobby Whitlock, bassist Carl Radle and drummer Jim Gordon. They had previously played together in Delaney & Bonnie and Friends. Dave Mason supplied additional lead guitar on early studio sessions and played at their first live gig.

The band released only one studio album, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. The album went on to receive critical acclaim, but initially faltered in sales and in radio airplay. Although released in 1970 it was not until March 1972 that the album’s single “Layla” (a tale of unrequited love inspired by Clapton’s relationship with his friend George Harrison’s wife, Pattie Boyd) made the top ten in both the United States and the United Kingdom. The album, which has received praise from critics and fans alike, is often considered to be the defining achievement of Clapton’s career.
