"Holes In The Floor Of Heaven" lyrics
One day shy of 8-years old, grandma passed away
I was a broken-hearted little boy, blowing out that birthday cake
How I cried when the sky let go with a cold and lonesome rain
Mamma smiled, said, "Don't be sad, child. Grandma's watching you today
'Cause there's holes in the floor of heaven and her tears are pouring down
That's how you know she's watching, wishing she could be here now
And sometimes if you're lonely, just remember she can see
There's holes in the floor of heaven, and she's watching over you and me."
Season's come and seasons go, nothing stays the same
I grew up, fell in love, met a girl who took my name
Year-by-year, made a life in this sleepy little town
I thought we'd grow old together. Lord, I sure do miss her now!
'Cause there's holes in the floor of heaven and her tears are pouring down
That's how you know she's watching, wishing she could be here now
And sometimes if you're lonely, just remember she can see
There's holes in the floor of heaven, and she's watching over you and me
But there's holes in the floor of heaven, and her tears are pouring down
That's how I know she's watching, wishing she could be here now
And sometimes when I'm lonely, I remember she can see
There's holes in the floor of heaven, and she's watching over you and me
Well, my little girl is 23. I walk her down the aisle
It's a shame her mom can't be here now to see her lovely smile
They throw the rice, I catch her eye
As the rain starts coming down
She takes my hand, says, "Daddy, don't be sad, 'cause I know mamma is watching now
And there's holes in the floor of heaven, and her tears are pouring down
That's how you know she's watching, wishing she could be here now
And sometimes when I'm lonely, I remember she can see
Yes, there's holes in the floor of heaven, and she's watching over you and me
Watching over you and me
Watching over you and me
Watching over you and me."

Watching over you and me
Watching over you and me
Watching over you and me."
