《Tears in Heaven》（中文名：泪洒天堂）
作者简介：1945年3月30日Eric Patrick Clapton出生于英国萨里郡的瑞普雷,在那里,他得到了生平第一把吉他,并开始倾听蓝调乐主流人物Son House和Robert Johnson的音带.在金斯敦艺术学院上学期间,他参加了各种各样的乐队,在演出过程中逐渐形成了自己的蓝调风格.
Eric Clapton是摇滚乐坛中首屈一指的吉他大师,从60年代出道至今,他在摇滚乐和布鲁斯音乐的领域中展示出了非凡的才华,在众多吉他手中,有人尊称他为“上帝”.
五十多岁方育得一子,然造化弄人,稚龄爱子竟从纽约数十层高的公寓阳台意外摔下身亡,这个打击几乎让他再度一蹶不振,不过将近50岁的Eric Clapton将他思念之苦寄情歌中,于是产生"Tears In Heaven"这首歌,它首先被收录于电影《迷途枷锁》(Rush)的原声带中,这也是Eric Clapton全程参与的配乐作品,他的歌声苍凉悲壮却又柔情似水,能够净化人的灵魂.克莱普顿凭借这首歌一举夺得1993年格莱美奖的6项大奖.
歌词：
Tear in Heaven
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel 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...
歌词大意：
假如在天堂相遇,你是否会认得我?
假如在天堂重逢,一切是否依旧?
我必须坚强,必须继续,
因为我知道,这天堂不属于我.
假如在天堂相遇,你是否会握住我的手?
假如在天堂重逢,你是否会扶我站起?
我要日复一日,找寻方向,
因为我知道,这天堂不属于我.
时间会让你绝望,时间会使你屈膝.
时间会使你心碎,时间会让你乞求.
跨过那道门,必定是一片祥和,
而我知道将不再有人泪洒天堂.
