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

And 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 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's twenty-three

I walk her down the aisle

It's a shame her mom can't be here now

And 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
