My husband, love of my life, soul-mate, best friend, confident, lover and so much more passed away 1 year, 3 weeks and 3 days ago. I miss him more than I can say, more than I have words to express the emptiness, the sadness within me. Tears In Heaven helps me through this very hard time because the words have to have been written by someone who has gone through such a heartache and also because they are so what I am feeling in my soul. Had I been just a wee bit as talented as Eric Clapton, I might have been able to write such lyrics although not so beautifully. I love his ever so soft voice when I listen to Tears in Heaven, so gentle, so soft, as if he was singing to his young son, I can hear and feel the love in his voice, I can hear and feel the longing to be with his son because those are exactly the feelings this song brings to my heart. Thank you Eric Clapton, I can so understand your sadness and feel your pain, when we get to heaven, there will be no more tears for either one of us. Thank you for this beautiful song.
