A classic poignant and beautiful guitar ballad by Eric Clapton about losing a loved one, and the feelings/questions that come with that... (Youna also sang this song so go check out her version too!)

Jenny loves to sing alone and at church, she sometimes sings in public but gets nervous. She has been trained at a music school called Jaanz but has not been attending since the start of 2005 due to a recent move overseas. She is, essentially a singer, but loves writing lyrics, and hopes one day, when she knows how to compose melodies, she can write full songs that can be called her own :)

Story behind the song
(Before I go on, I just want to say that Youna also did a version of this song, so go listen to hers too... her link is on my message board). This is my favourite Eric Clapton song. I sang it last year at a music night, and was inspired to sing it then and now because of the heart rendering emotion and sadness that is expressed in the poignant melody and simple lyrics. Its really beautiful but sad...a song about losing someone you love very much, and questioning whether you will see them in the next life... and what your relationship with them will be like then. Kudos to Eric Clapton for such a beautiful classic. I shall always love it! :)
Lyrics
Would you know my name If I saw you in heaven Will 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 knee Time can break your heart Have you begging please Begging please (instrumental) 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 Will 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
