Eric Clapton schreef het nummer naar aanleiding van het noodlottig ongeluk van zijn vierjarig zoontje Conor die op 20 maart 1991 uit het raam van de 53ste verdieping van een wolkenkrabber naar beneden viel. In 2009 gaf Clapton de organisatie Consument en Veiligheid toestemming om dit nummer als soundtrack te gebruiken voor hun campagne "Valwijzer", die bedoeld was om ouders met kinderen bewust te maken van de risico’s en gevolgen van een val.

In 1993 stond de live versie van het nummer van de Unplugged serie opnieuw 2 weken in de Top 40.

Songtekst

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

'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
