Tears In Heaven...

One of my dearest friends asked me :
Why you named your blogg Tears In Heaven ?

And here is the answer :

Because of the great singer ‘Eric Clapton’ and his song

,which I love so much : Tears In Heaven

Tears in Heaven is one of the greatest songs ever written

.Any time I listen to this it always reminds me of past loved ones
and the joy they have brought on in their lives
and put into mine I am grateful for Eric for bringing
back memories of those who are no longer with me
except in my heart.

The song, "Tears in Heaven" is one of Eric's greatest songs ever written.

It's terrible that it took Conor's death and Eric's grief to write such a beautiful song.

In his new hit song, My Father's Eyes,

Eric Clapton wrote that he could only see his father through his son's eyes.

Conor died in 1991 after a tragic fall from a New York City highrise.

"I never met my father,"

Mr. Clapton told his biographer in 1985. "

And I realized that the closest I ever came

to looking into my father's eyes was when I looked into my son's eyes."

Mr. Clapton's five-year-old son,

Conor, plummeted to his death in 1991 from the 53rd floor

of the New York City apartment of his mother,

Italian model Lori del Santo.

Missing the father he never knew,

Conor's death pushed Mr. Clapton into depression.

From it emerged Tears in Heaven,

Mr. Clapton's most successful song.

In 2003 Clapton said he was able to work through his grief through music.

For him, the music was a "healing agent".

The song "Tears in Heaven" was

composed by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings,

the song was a dedication to the memory of his son Conor.

The song ended up winning Clapton the

“Best Pop Vocal Performance”

at the 1993 Grammy Awards.

Clapton's album "Unplugged" also won him Album of the Year.

Although the life of Connor was all too short,

his death created a public awareness

of window guards safety for small children.

Clapton was a personal spokesperson.
The apartment which Conor and his mother were staying
in had no such window guards.

The housekeeper had just finished

cleaning the windows and left them open to dry.
Conor ran right past the housekeeper and right out the open window.

Many people have requested this song played

at their loved one's funeralsI love Eric Clapton for what he has given
to the music listeners of the world through
his joy, sorrow, etc. Eric,

you are one of the best."Tears in Heaven" still brings me
to a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes,

for I feel his pain. It is a beautiful song.

And here is the words of the song , I hope you will enjoy it :

Tears In Heaven
(Eric Clapton)
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...
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 you 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...
