Eric’s Moving “Circus Left Town” Tribute Stirs Up Last Moments With Son, Conor

And It’s Sad… So Sad…

Beginning with a touching interview of Eric speaking about the loss of his beloved son Conor, whom he lost falling out of his apartment window, he explains that the last thing he did with his baby boy was visited the circus…

As the well known “Tears in Heaven” hit took off more than quickly, it seemed to have out shadowed the song truly written about Conor and his last experience with him.

“And in the ring stands a circus clown holding up a knife. What you see and what you will hear, will last you for the rest of your life.”

Although Eric proves to be the strongest man/ father we have ever seen, with this video as evidence, this song will make you tear up inevitably. The lyrics beautifully paint the scene of him and his son enjoying their last memory together…

“And it’s sad so sad, there ain’t no easy way round.”

As Eric mentions in the beginning of the interview that he feels it is important to share the pain and hurt he experienced when Conor passed, it really shows how wonderful his heart is, as well as how open it is…

It may be beautiful but it is truly heartbreaking that he ever had to write this song…

+ Circus Left Town Lyrics +

Little man with his eyes on fire
And his smile so bright.
In his hands are the toys you gave
To fill his heart with delight.

And in the ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife.
What you see and what you will hear
Will last you for the rest of your life.

And it’s sad so sad
There ain’t no easy way round.
And it’s sad so sad
All you friends gather round
‘Cause the circus left town.

Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine.
Stick with me and I’ll ride with you
Till the end of the line.

Hold my hand and I’ll walk with you
Through the darkest night.
When I smile I’ll be thinking of you
And every little thing will be all right.

And in the ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife.
What you see and what you will hear
Will last you for the rest of your life.

And in the ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife.
What you see and what you will hear
Will last you for the rest of your life.

The circus left town, left town.
The circus left town, left town
