《泪洒天堂》,艾里克·克莱普顿(Eric Clapton)的代表作歌曲。

60年代末,在伦敦和纽约街头墙壁上最显眼的涂鸭是“克莱普顿(Clapton)。这首《泪洒天堂 》是克莱普顿用他已经被悲痛碾得粉碎的心为纪念他的儿子所作。

在一次演出归来的途中，年轻的布鲁斯吉他大师Stevie Ray Vaughan和Clapton的演出伙伴Colin Smythe 和Nigel Browne 在直升机失事的事故中丧生，克莱普顿坐在后面的飞机上亲眼目睹了这一惨痛的场面。他们都是克莱普顿最亲近的朋友。几个月后，他的幼子Conor从曼哈顿53层楼的窗口意外坠下身亡。这不仅仅是英国吉他摇滚巨星，这不仅仅是6项格莱美获奖歌手，这只是一位平凡的父亲，一个因为失去孩子而频频苛责自己的可怜父亲.我们难以想象50多岁才得子的他失去儿子的心情,而这首歌就是写给他的亡儿的.

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 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?

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
