One  day  shinin'  eight years  old
 when grandma  passed  away
 I was a broken  hearted  little boy
 blowin' out  that birthday cake
How  I cried  when the  sky let  go
 with the cold  and  lonesome rain
momma  smiled said, don't be  sad child
 grandma's  watchin' you today
'Cause there's holes  in the floor  of heaven
 ->
 and the tears are pouring 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  watchin' 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 the tears  are pouring 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 momma's watchin' now
 ->
 And there's holes in the floor of heaven
 and the tears  are pouring 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  watchin' over you and me
 watchin'  over you  and  me
 watchin'  over you  and  me
 watchin'  over you  and me...
