TEARS IN HEAVEN  by ERIC CLAPTON
___________ you ___________ my name if I ___________  you in Heaven
___________  it ___________ the same if I ___________ you in Heaven
I must be strong and carry on
`Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven
___________  you ___________ my hand if I ___________you in Heaven
___________  you ___________ me stand if I ___________  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 beggin, please
Beggin, please
Beyond the door there's peace for sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven
