Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven
Tears in Heaven is a song written by English guitarist, singer, and songwriter Eric Clapton and American songwriter Will Jennings, released on the soundtrack for the film Rush in 1991.
The song was inspired by the tragic death of Clapton's four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from the 53rd-floor window of a New York City apartment on March 20, 1991.
Clapton, who was preparing to pick up Conor for a planned father-son lunch, described the moment he learned of his son's death as causing him to "go cold" and "shut down right away".
The song emerged from Clapton's grief during a period of isolation and reflection, with lyrics expressing the emotional pain of loss and the longing to reconnect with his son in the afterlife.
Lyrics:
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 you feel the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
Because I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
