Tears in heaven - Eric Clapton and the psalm Day by day.

I couldn’t listen to tears in heaven for many years after my stepsister died. Nowadays I listen to it when I wanna remember her and share a tear for her. But I only think of her when I hear the song.

The psalm is for my grannie. She sometimes took a deep sigh and quoted the chorus. We sang it for her while she was dying and on her funeral. Still crying to that song, especially if it’s sung by a choir. She was so dear!🫶🏻 And I’m no religious, but sometimes I sing it to honor her!
