Eric Clapton has been acclaimed as one of rock's greatest guitarists.
"I never met my father," Mr. Clapton told his biographer in 1985.
"And I realized that the closest I ever came to looking into my
father's eyes was when I looked into my son's eyes."
Like his father, Mr. Clapton has been known to change women often.
His brief affair with model Lori del Santo resulted in the birth of
Mr. Clapton's son, Conor.
Mr. Clapton's five-year-old son, Conor, plummeted to his death in
1991 from the 53rd floor of the New York City apartment of his mother,
Italian model Lori del Santo.
Missing the father he never knew, Conor's death pushed Mr. Clapton
into depression. From it emerged Tears in Heaven, Mr. Clapton's most
successful song.
Eric Clapton在西洋樂壇素有"吉他之神"的美譽，他說他從未
見過自己的爸爸，只有在看到自己兒子的眼睛之時才彷彿看到了
自己父親。
然造化弄人，Clapton五歲的兒子Conor意外地從53樓高的公寓
摔下身亡，Eric難過之餘，寫下此曲表達自己的心情，也成了他
最有名的作品。
從這首歌的歌詞可以深深體會到他的悲傷，他想像著他們在天堂
相遇的情景，然而他告訴自己要活下去，因為他現在還不屬於天堂....
Tears in heaven_Eric Clapton
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'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
