Steve Wariner Lyrics
"Holes in the Floor of Heaven"

One day shy of eight years old, my 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."

Chorus:
'Cause theres 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 your 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 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 twenty three, 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'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...
