Clapton, Eric - You Were There Lyrics

Ballad of stunning beauty and infinite sadness by an unusual Clapton. Great lp

You were there. Best song ever

You Were There in 2019........thanks!

And in 2020 too.

Ahhhhh.....what a great song! I don't think Mr. Clapton has done anything I didn't love! Thank you for still continuing to perform for us! You sir are still the very best!

Eric Clapton wrote this song after finding out about Princess Diana’s death and it turned into a tribute to his long-time manager, Roger Forrester. “I had my daughter staying with me during the summer and I went around to the news agents on the Sunday morning and it was on the front page that Princess Diana was dead. All this stuff started coming up like it did for everybody. For me, it was like a compilation of feelings that go back to every loss that I’ve ever experienced. And I had this feeling ... and I didn’t want it to get pinned onto this event. I wanted to actually place it somewhere where I felt it really belonged. And so I took it to a relationship that I have been involved with, myself, for the last 25 years, which is with my manager. And I took this feeling and put it in this song for him.” (From the March 1998 Rock Daily on-line interview)

This album is amazing ! I like all tracks !

Lyrics of the 13th track of the album Pilgrim:

[Verse 1]
We made the distance
Yeah, we made the day
You made all the difference
Cause you found the way
Without your wisdom
Lord, where would we be
Lost in the wilderness
Somewhere out at sea

[Chorus]
But you were there
Through the days of wine and madness
When I'd always put you down
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down

[Verse 2]
You found the meaning
And helped me to see
Where I was going to
All that I could be
Without permission
You turned the key
You climbed the prison wall
Deep inside of me

[Chorus][x2]
But you were there
Through the days of wine and madness
When I'd always put you down
You were there
Through my joys and my sadness
And you never let me down

[Outro][x3]
You were there
.

This song is my dad's song

I love this song.

ERIC DOES NOT DISAPPOINT EVEN WHEN GOING SOLO - HE HAS GOT THE MAGIC TOUCH AND DOES NOT NEED TO OVERDO WITH HIS UNIVERSALLY ACKNOLEDGED SKILLNESS AT PLAYING GUITAR: NO NEED TO SHOW IT OUT: DESPITE WHAT MANY ENVIOUS MAGAZINE CRITICS SAY HE HIS A GREAT COMPOSER AS WELL

Subscribe to what u said not a note more than necessary

this Album is Really a Masterpiece

Kent Beery TOTALLY! This & Unplugged by far his best ever.

I agree. Its been so underrated
