這是艾瑞克．克萊普頓（Eric Clapton）1992年為紀念因車禍身亡的愛子所作，歌名為《Tears in Heaven》（淚灑天堂）。這首歌曲調簡單，歌詞主題單純，聽起來卻令人覺得力道十足，充份表現出『吉他之神』的音樂成熟度。而這位白羊座的音樂奇才，在經過了毒品歲月與喪子之痛後，也藉由至情至性的《Tears in Heaven》重回創作天堂。



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.



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.
