Tekst og musik (1992) Eric Clapton & 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 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
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

Den 20. marts 1991 faldt Conor Clapton ud af et vindue fra 53. etage i New
York. Hans far, Eric Clapton, skrev denne dybt personlige sang for at bearbejde
sorgen efter den 4½-årige drengs død.
"Den opstod i mit hoved i perioden efter Conors død, men er skrevet til filmen 'Rush' :'
- Udtalt af Eric Clapton i et tv-interview med Dianne Welmes, 1992.
