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 cuz 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 Would you know my name? If I saw you in heaven Would you be the same? If I saw you in heaven I must be strong and carry on cuz I know I don't belong Here in heaven Eric Clapton – Tears in Heaven Lyrics

No one can really describe heaven, as St Paul said. My idea is that Heaven is a closeness to God, where pure bliss exist and angels sing in adoration. You will get there eventually.

I totally agree with you Victor, heaven is a place we can get to be closing our eyes and thinking of the God that makes us breathe each and every morning

I appreciate you sharing the words from this sad song. I remember when his son fell from the balcony. Certainly a moving song. Have a great evening, hugs, Sara

Hi Sara, I never knew that small detail of the song, it adds new meaning to it now, though I sang it for any one who ever lost someone, thanks for the love

I didn't know that S, thanks for enlightening me as to the meaning of the song, that must have been so sad.

Dear Rose, I love the song, and your poem captures the raw emotion of loss and longing with beautiful lyrics. What a heartfelt reflection on love, grief, and the hope of reunion. Your words echo the universal ache of missing someone dear. Such a touching piece. - Blessings,
