Tears in Heaven

Today I went to the funeral service for a good friend and co worker of mine who just lost his dad this week. The service was very nice and I am glad I was able to attend to show my support as a friend.

I was listening to the radio on the way into work this morning before the service and the song Tears in Heaven came on. I thought it was fitting that I hear this song today knowing I was going to the service. Once again I love how music fits moods and points in our life.

This song was written for Eric's son who died as a young boy.


Tears In Heaven
by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings
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 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.


Oh yeah ... 6 days till the concert.
