Day 46 : A song sang by a friend

TEARS IN HEAVEN

by Eric Clapton 

"Tears in Heaven" is a ballad written by Eric Clapton and Will Jennings about the pain and loss Clapton felt following the death of his four-year-old son, Conor. Conor fell from a window of the 53rd-floor New York apartment of his mother's friend on March 20, 1991 (how sad this is my birthday). Clapton, who arrived at the apartment shortly after the accident, was visibly distraught. This is one of Clapton's most successful songs, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the U.S., featuring a classical guitar as the lead instrument. The song also stayed three weeks as #1 on the American Adult Contemporary Chart in 1992. Courtesy of www.wikipedia.org 

My mom passed away 20 years ago and every time I hear this song I remember my mom, how I wish that when the time comes that I see her again in the next life we would still recognize each other and make up with the lost time.  ^_^ 

Today, I am honored that my friend Anton said YES to my plea (hehehe, actually it just took me a couple of minutes to persuade him, peace Tito A!) The first time I heard him sang (it was live ^_^), I was really moved by his very cool and soulful, I can clearly remember saying to my friends, "can you get me jacket, I am feel cold" ^_^ then several singing jammings came after. Truly when he sings you can really feel the emotions of what the lyrics of the song entails! We had other recordings even duet, but cannot be heard by the public, hahahahahaha *_*  I'll take this opportunity to thank this guy,who inspired me to make my own video and upload it to be seen by everyone. I really didn't like myself on video and even sing in front of the camera, I have always felt that my voice was not good when recorded, not that I am saying that I am really a good singer but I'd rather sing live ^_^. 

So much of that, here's my good friend Anton or Tito A as I call him.

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 hear, 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 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
