I had the wonderful opportunity of singing this song as part of the Olamide live set at the Bitter End in NYC. The song was written by Eric Clapton to commemorate the untimely death of his young son 20 years ago. With all the tragic events happening in the world, I'm sure you'll agree that songs like this are absolutely needed to help memorialize and heal.
TEARS IN HEAVEN
-E. Clapton, W. Jennings
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
