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 ……
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 …
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
The photo of Eric Clapton was taken by ultomatt who has a fantastic set of photos that he took at one of Eric Clapton’s concerts in August 1975.
I took the photo IN HEAVEN in April 2007 at Great Yarmouth cemetery, where Elly and Leo Reynolds took me when I visited Norwich.

Claude, I just looked at about 200 of your more than 28,000 photos, and all I could think of is how you are the recorder of life in your area. A book of your photos would almost be better than a history book – for people in the 22nd century!

That church, was it St Nicholas? I should know Yarmouth well as I had relatives there and taught at Bradwell, nearby, for over ten years. But, I’ve never visited Yarmouth cemetery. Once again, you’ve opened my eyes, Claude.

The ivy in your photo does indeed look like tears in heaven.

@ kenju, I “only” have over 22,000 photos
but whoever would take it to task to make a book, would have a lot of work sorting things out!
@ sablonneuse, I’ll have to ask Leo and Elly, I really don’t know, especially as the church was closed when we were around.
@ Chancy, I thought it was really good-looking ivy.

That’s a great stone and I’ve always loved that song. I guess he wrote it when his young son fell from that window and was killed at such a young age.
I also associate that song with a girl I once worked with….her sister had been murdered and they sang that at her funeral. Quite powerful words in it.

That is one of my favorite Clapton songs, and yes, it is beautiful poetry, too. Your photo is a great accompaniment.
