.:Tears in Heaven:.

In my opinion this is one of the songs with the best lyrics ever, because it's significance is very strong and it shows how the death of Eric Claptons' son pulled his world down. From that point onwards his life turned into a mess, and drugs and alcohol started playing a bigger role in his life to contrarest this feeling of emptyness and death. Through these words I want to point out how from a second to another our lives can radically change forever, so we must learn to be strong, and carry on.

Tears In Heaven
by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven.
Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
