Tears In Heaven

Since 2004, Eric Clapton not already

plays the song "Tears in Heaven"

because says that it is has finally lost

the feeling of absence of your child; a

little thanks to the weather, and prefers

not to revive him singing the song, and

of course, is suffering that no one wants

to live.

Opinion

In our opinion, we think that it is a very

nice song, why it is quite nice to dismiss

his son Connor. Besides being a

beautiful song, it is also a soothing song

and a little sad if the letter is analyzed.

The Song, Lyrics

Would you know my nameIf I saw you in heaven?Would it be the sameIf I saw you in heaven?

I must be strongAnd carry on,'Cause I know I don't belongHere in heaven.

Would you hold my handIf I saw you in heaven?Would you help me standIf I saw you in heaven?

I'll find my wayThrough night and day,'Cause I know I just can't stayHere 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.
