Holes In the Floor of Heaven

One day shy of eight-years old, my grandma passed away

I was a broken-hearted little boy, blowin' 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 watchin' you today"

'Cause there's holes in the floor of Heaven

And her tears are pourin' down

That's how you know she's watchin'

Wishin' 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, nothin' 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 pourin' down

That's how I know she's watchin'

Wishin' 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 watchin' 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 comin' down

She takes my hand, says, "Daddy, don't be sad

'Cause I know mama's watchin' now"

And, there's holes in the floor of Heaven

And, her tears are pourin' down

That's how you know she's watchin'

Wishin' 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
