Losing your child is one of the most heart wrenching experiences that a parent could ever go through. It’s something just isn’t in the natural flow of the life cycle as we know it…

Eric Clapton lost his son, and as a result, wrote one of the most beautiful song ever written. Tears in Heave is a song that has touched so many lives, and is a glimpse of the pain and sorrow that a parent goes through. It asks us about our relationships, and how or if it will transcend this world…

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
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?
Ill find my way through night and day
cause I know I just cant 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 theres 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
cause I know I don’t belong here in heaven
