He wrote it for his son after he died when he fell out of a window. He's saying he shouldn't be in heaven and that he should be here living.

Tears in Heaven is about Eric Clapton's son who fell out of a hotel window and died. The song is referring to Mr. Clapton arriving in Heaven to finally be with his son again. When he sings "... don't belong here in heaven..." I believe he means that his son does not belong there because he was too young to die.

"Tears in Heaven" is a ballad written and performed by Eric Clapton about pain he felt from the 1991 death of his 4-year-old son, Conor, who fell from a 53rd story window in his mother's New York City condominium; Clapton was at a nearby hotel at the time. By all accounts, the death appeared to be simply a tragic accident, and Clapton was distraught for months afterwards

The song is about Eric Clapton's son who died very young. The song refers to the fact that his son is in heaven but because he (Eric) is still alive, he does not belong there.

His son fell out a window of a tall building when he was about 2 or 3. He wrote the song for his son.

His son who died falling out of an open hotel window by jumping on a bed next to it.
Honestly, about 95% of Eric Clapton's music after Derek and the Dominoes is just terrible, and this song is no exception.

His son who fell out of a window and died, around age 3 or so....not sure about the age but I know he was very young. He's just saying he should be on earth, not in heaven.

He wrote this song when his son died at a very young age. He expressed his sadness and wished to be with his son in heaven. It is a beautiful and very emotional song. I love it a lot.

It's about him wanting to go to heaven to see his son, wondering if he would recognize him and still be his son, then realizing that it's not his time to be there, it's his son's, "...cause I know I don't belong, here in heaven."

After his young son died Eric felt that life wasn't worth living and considered committing suicide to join his son [in heaven]. He wonders if his son will recognize him in heaven and help him to get over his sorrow and his tears there. Clapton finally recognizes that he can't join his son (i.e. commit suicide) and that he'll have to face his sorrow on earth, hence no tears in heaven.
In the song Clapton acknowledges his belief in God. He recognizes suicide is a sin. He teaches us how to grieve for those we love and have lost, and how to find strength when we are at our lowest. He assures us that there is peace after death.
Through his song Clapton comforts his audience and helps them to work through their own heartaches, while at the same time moving through his own grief. It's a remarkable achievement for only two minutes of time.
