"Tears in Heaven" : My favorite song

“Tears in Heaven” is a master piece of Eric Clapton and I love this song for 2 reasons. First, Clapton is my favorite singer, he is one of the most famous classic rockers of all time. Another reason is he wrote this song from his pain regarding the death of his four years old son, Conor, who fell from a window of the apartment in New York. This is very emotional and I heard that he cried when he sang the song the first time.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will 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 knee
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

The song is so powerful and has a lot of emotion It is a beautiful song to express his feeling. He sings it with all his heart for his son. Every time I hear this song it brings tears to my eyes. It is such a tragedy that he lost his son at such an early age. You can hear the pain in his voice and in his lyrics from this link.

The song reminds me that everyone I love and have passed on, I will have a chance to meet them again in heaven. However, life must go on no matter how painful it might be. The song makes me realize that I should make each days worth for living while the song reflects pain and sadness and life. The song expresses his feeling that how much he misses his son and that someday they will meet in heaven. I can feel that he loves his son with all his heart. So, I cry every time I hear this song, “Tears in Heaven”.
