经典英文老歌《泪洒天堂》 　

Eric Clapton在西洋乐坛素有"吉他之神"的美誉，Eric Clapton漫长的音乐历程与居高不坠的名声有一半来自现场精湛的吉他表演。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，Eric Clapton伤痛之馀，写下此曲，以纪念亡儿。
　　1991年3月老来得子的Eric Clapton痛失骨肉，年仅4岁的Conor从窗户失足坠楼，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。 在1992年发行单曲后很快得到白金唱片并蝉联亚军，同年3月份他录制MTV音乐台相当受欢迎的不插电小型演唱会（Unplugged）时再度表演此曲。

Lyrics
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

On August 27, 1990 guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, who was touring with Clapton, and two members of their road crew were killed in a helicopter crash between concerts. Then, on March 20 1991 at 11:00AM, Conor, who was four and a half, died when he fell from the 53rd-story window of his mother's New York City apartment, landing on the roof of an adjacent four-story building. A fraction of Clapton's grief was heard on the song "Tears in Heaven" (on the soundtrack to the 1991 movie Rush), co-written with Will Jennings, which, like the MTV Unplugged album that followed it, won a Grammy award.
