These are the words of the song we have heard in class recently. As you know, it was written and composed by Eric Clapton under very sad circumstances.

If you want to find out some more about this singer, here you are some links to his webpage and to wikipedia.

By the way, Clapton wrote about his sadness and his son, if you had to sing a song, what would you sing about???

TEARS IN HEAVEN

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

 

(instrumental)

 

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
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

 

Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven
