Tears In Heaven by 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.

 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.
