Steve Wariner - Holes in the Floor of Heaven

One day shy of eight years old
When 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
Mama 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

Seasons come and seasons go
Nothing stays the same
I grew up, fell in love
Met a girl who took my name
Year by year, we made a life
In this sleepy little town
I thought we'd grow old together
Lord, I sure do miss her now

But 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
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 mama's 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
