I've been around this world

I've been a lot of places

Seen a million faces

In a thousand towns

But when I looked into your eyes

I knew I found Heaven

And I've been wantin' to tell you

I never wanna let you go

It may be winter and heat on

But what I'm feeling is summer in my heart

Is it too familiar to say "I love you"

Would you be suspicious if I asked your name

Tell me, what would it take

to really convince you

that I'm gonna love you

even if my heart would break

I see a better day

I can feel it coming

I can hear it calling

in the winter night

Could you turn this man

into a true believer

when you left your traces

on that moonlit night

It may be winter and heat on

But when I'm with you, with you

It's summer in my heart

Is it too familiar to say "I love you"

Would you be suspicious if I asked your name

Tell me, what would it take

to really convince you

that I'm gonna love you

even if my heart would break

It may be winter and heat on

But when I'm with you, with you

It's always summer in my heart

So let the mountains tumble

Tumble to the sea

Let the rivers overflow

It won't bother me

Let the stars go out tonight

Cuz I can see them in your eyes

And I wanna love you

even if my heart would break

(Even if my heart would break)

Is it too familiar to say "I love you"

Would you be suspicious if I asked your name

Tell me, what would it take

to really convince you

that I'm gonna love you

even if my heart would break

Even if my heart would break

I'm gonna love you

Even if my heart would break

I'm gonna love you

Let the stars go out tonight

Cuz I can see them in your eyes

And I'm gonna love you

even if my heart would break

(Even if my heart would break)

(Even if my heart would break)

(Even if my heart would break)

Yeah, yeah

(Even if my heart would break)

I'm gonna love you

Even if my heaaarrrt would break

(Even if my heart would break)

(Even if my heart would break)

“(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding” is a 1974 song written by English singer/songwriter Nick Lowe and recorded in the best-known version by Elvis Costello.

As I walk on through this wicked world,

Searching for light in the darkness of insanity,

I ask myself, Is all hope lost?

Is there only pain, and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,

There's one thing I wanna know,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?

And as I walked on through troubled times,

My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes,

So where are the strong?,

And who are the trusted?,

And where is the harmony?,

Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?

So where are the strong?,

And who are the trusted?,

And where is the harmony?,

Sweet harmony

'Cause each time I feel it slipping away, just makes me wanna cry,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?,

What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?

RUN TO YOU

I know that when you look at me

There's so much that you just don't see

But if you would only take the time

I know in my heart you'd find

Oh a girl that's scared sometimes

Who isn't always strong

Can't you see the hurt in me

I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you

I wanna run to you

Won't ya hold me in your arms

and keep me safe from harm

I wanna run to you

But if I come to you

Tell me will you stay

Or will you run away

Each day, each day I play the role

Of someone always in control

But at night I come home and turn the key

There's nobody there, no one cares for me

Oh woah what's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams

Without someone to share them with

Tell me what does it mean

I wanna run to you

I wanna run to you

Won't ya hold me in your arms

and keep me safe from harm

I wanna run to you

But if I come to you

Tell me will you stay

Or will you run away

Run away, no

I need you here

I need you here to wipe away my tears

To kiss away my fears

No if you only knew how much I wanna run to you

Ya know I wanna run to you

Won't ya hold me in your arms

and keep me safe from harm

I wanna run to you

But if I come to you

Tell me will you stay

Or will you run away

"Tears in Heaven" é uma canção composta por Eric Clapton juntamente com Will Jennings, a letra fala sobre a dor e perda que Clapton sentiu após a morte de seu filho Conor de quatro anos de idade, que caiu da janela do 53º andar de um apartamento de um amigo de sua mãe, em Nova Iorque em 20 de março de 1991. Clapton, que chegou ao apartamento pouco depois do acidente, ficou visivelmente desesperado. Esta é uma das canções de maior sucesso de Clapton, atingindo a segunda posição na Billboard Hot 100 nos Estados Unidos, com uma guitarra clássica como instrumento principal. A canção também ficou três semanas na primeira posição na parada norte-americana Adult Contemporary em 1992.

Will Jennings, co-autor da música, relutou no início para ajudá-lo a compor uma canção pessoal. A composição foi inicialmente lançada na trilha sonora do filme Rush, seguido pelo álbum acústico Unplugged (1992). "Tears in Heaven" ganhou três Grammys dos seis que Clapton levou, sendo: Gravação do Ano, Canção do Ano e Melhor Performance Vocal Pop Masculina no Grammy Award de 1993. Ele também ganhou um prêmio no MTV Video Music Award de Melhor Videoclipe Masculino em 1992. Clapton parou de tocá-la em 2004, bem como a canção "My Father's Eyes", afirmando: "Eu não sentia mais a sensação de perda, que é uma parte integrante dessas composições. Eu preciso me conectar com os sentimentos que havia quando compus essas canções. Acho que esses sentimentos se foram, e eu não quero que eles voltem novamente. Minha vida mudou desde então. Canções assim só precisam de uma pausa e talvez eu volte a apresentá-las de uma maneira nova".

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

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,

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 it be 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
