[Mastobada > paradis / heaven ]
Je crois n'avoir pas encore vu passer ce petit bijou d'Eric Clapton... Je ne connaissais pas l'histoire dramatique associée à cette chanson... 😮 🥺

Would you know my name
If I saw you in ✨ Heaven✨ ?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in Heaven ?

I must be strong
And carry on
‘Cause I know I don't belong

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
