us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man."

Holes In The Floor Of Heaven
Written by Billy Kirsch/Steve Wariner
as performed by Steve Wariner


One day shy of eight years old
When grandma passed away
I was a brokenhearted little boy
Blowing out that birthday cake
How I cried when that sky let go
With a cold and lonesome rain
Mamma smiled, said don't be said 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
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
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 and says daddy don't be said
'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 sometime 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
