Tears In Heaven
A touching moment
sat in the stalls
My grandson and I
full of great expectation
sitting together
in this iconic location
Two hundred performances
Guitarist supreme
uplifting
sublime
‘tis for us
our first time’
Eric his name…
with guitars he found fame
One of the best
for he brings them alive
with his talented fingers
makes music that lingers
With his ups
With his downs
With his tears very near
for Conor his son
‘Tears in Heaven’
he sings
After shedding so many
a song for his boy
who is missing his dad
leaves us crying
leaves us sad
Then for his dear wife
just before they go out
Reassures of her beauty
from rooftops he’ll shout…
For this is surely
what true loves all about
singing…
Darling ~ you look wonderful tonight
And as he is playing
two hours or more
The audience is yelling
for one more encore
So much emotion
within every song
Singing ‘Tears in Heaven’
for his dear son now gone
When singing his song
You look 'Wonderful Tonight'
My eyes they fill up
at this magical sight
So thank you Eric Clapton
for a wonderful evening
In the Royal Albert Hall
the most iconic venue of all
Written 9th May 2022 after seeing his concert yesterday evening...
