91年他的四歲兒子從高樓窗戶跌落當場殞命, Clapton幾近崩潰, 為了悼念愛子寫下"Tears in Heaven", 曲中道盡思念惆悵令人動容

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&9t 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&9ll find my way through night and day
Cause I know I just can&9t 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&9s peace I&9m sure
And I know there&9ll be no more tears in heaven
