[Lyrics] Tears In Heaven - Eric Clapton

Momentary Happiness

Why doesnt the sunshine
All the time?
Why does it have to set?
Why does the day end
And night descends?
Time flies in seconds
As a day ends
And night descends
The smile fades away
As soon as it spreads
Swept by waves
Of myriad  emotions
Through out the day
Even  the sun melts away
Giving way for night
The wind blows  out the  light
And the rains spray
As time ticks away
The dew drops dry
As flowers bloom and wither
As light flickers
There is change in every thing
Birds keep flapping their  wings
Fish keep flapping their fins
Nothing is stationary
Happiness is momentary
As all things cease to be

The Revenant

Like a reverie
You are there I know
in my thought
 From my very first memory
 When I was brought
 into this world
 I was your little girl
 Can't imagine that time can eliminate
your very existence
 which I thought was permanent
 Only your belongings are reminiscience
Of a past  which was relevant

I refuse to believe
 That I have lost you
 Deep down inside I know that someday
 I will find you
And ask you how could you stop worrying about me?
Why didn't you try to reconnect with me?
Father  I am aghast!
 I found you at last!
 I wonder what would be your response?
What would you say?
Would you stay ?
Would you hug and forgive me if  I am wrong ?
 I better be strong
And hold you forever long as long as it may be!

My tears come pouring
As the river runs dry
and vaporize
 and cloud my eyes
 And I begin to cry
And crackle aloud
churned by the  winds of emotion
Like a vicious cycle!
 Looks like you are touring
But soon you would  come full circle!
 Come back to me by some miracle!
