Holes In The Floor Of Heaven

(Billy Kirsch/Steve Wariner)

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

Mamma smiled said don’t be sad child

Grandmas watching you today

Chorus:

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 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

Chorus:

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’s watching now

Chorus:

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 you’re lonely

just remember she can see

there’s holes in the floor of heaven and she’s

watching over you and me
