歌词 Lyrics
Title: Tears in Heaven
Artist: Eric Clapton
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
Begging please
(instrumental)
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
Tears in Heaven
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Tears in Heaven" is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain Clapton felt following the 1991 death of his four-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a 53rd-story window in his mother's friend's New York City condominium. By all accounts, the death was simply a tragic accident, and Clapton was distraught for months afterwards.[1] This song is one of Clapton's most successful, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the U.S. The song also spent three weeks at #1 on the American adult contemporary chart in 1992.
Clapton wrote the song with Will Jennings, who was reluctant at first to help him with such a personal song.[2] The song was initially featured on the soundtrack to the film Rush, and it won three Grammy awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Male Pop Vocal Performance in 1993. It was also included on Clapton's Grammy award-winning album, Unplugged. It is #353 on Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs. "Eric and I were engaged to write a song for a movie called Rush. We wrote a song called 'Help Me Up' for the end of the movie... then Eric saw another place in the movie for a song and he said to me, 'I want to write a song about my boy.' Eric had the first verse of the song written, which, to me, is all the song, but he wanted me to write the rest of the verse lines and the release ('Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees...'), even though I told him that it was so personal he should write everything himself. He told me that he had admired the work I did with Steve Winwood and finally there was nothing else but to do as he requested, despite the sensitivity of the subject. This is a song so personal and so sad that it is unique in my experience of writing songs." – Will Jennings [3] Clapton stopped playing it in 2004, as well as the song "My Father's Eyes". "I didn't feel the loss anymore, which is so much a part of performing those songs. I really have to connect with the feelings that were there when I wrote them. They're kind of gone and I really don't want them to come back, particularly. My life is different now. They probably just need a rest and maybe I'll introduce them for a much more detached point of view."

《泪洒天堂》（Tears in Heaven）是英国歌手埃里克·克莱普顿为了纪念他年仅4岁的儿子康纳（Conor）而创作并演唱的一首歌曲。1991年3月20日上午11点，由于保姆的不慎，康纳从他母亲位于纽约的53层公寓的窗户摔落。不幸发生后，克莱普顿几个月都极度悲伤。[1]
这首歌曲由克莱普顿和威尔·詹宁斯联手创作，收录在电影《乱》(Rush)的原声大碟，并获得了1993年3项葛莱美奖，包括年度歌曲、年度唱片和最佳流行男歌手。这首歌也收录在另一张获得葛莱美奖的专辑“不插电”（Unplugged)中，并在滚石杂志最佳500首歌曲排行榜中名列353位。
2004年起克莱普顿不再演唱这首歌曲，以及另一首为从未莫面的父亲创作的歌曲“父亲的眼睛”（My Father's Eyes）。他说：
如今我演唱这些歌曲时，我不再为失去他们而感到悲痛。当我创作它们的时候，我觉得他们就在那里。现在他们已经离去而且我真的不再希望他们回来。我的生活已经发生了改变，而他们需要安静地休息，我会用另一种方式来纪念他们。
