Holes In The Floor Of Heaven Lyrics
One day shy of eight years old
My 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
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 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 coming down
She takes my hand, says,
'Daddy don't be sad.
'Cause I know momma's watching now
'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 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
My 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
Mama smiled, said,
'Don't be sad, child.
Grandma's watching you today.
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.'
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
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
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 momma's watching now
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

You are never alone, if you have someone in your heart. Never dwell on the death of a loved one, as they are still watching over you, and would want you to be happy.
I love this song, even though it's sad. I lost my grandfather when I was 9. He was a huge part of my life. When I miss him, I just remember that he's looking down and watching over me.
this song started playing wen i was at camp.... i had never heard it and yet i started crying like a baby... nobody knew wat was wrong and i never told them because i never figured it out either. then i realized why it made me so sad....death is scary and sad and when someone you love dies all you want is to believe they are still with you. but i wasnt like that wen my gramma died. i shut everything out and stayed by myself alot, mostly because i didnt want to face the truth: that gramma was gone. when i heard this song i started crying because i felt ashamed. ashamed that i shut everything out and pretend that i was okay and i didnt need help. if gramma had been watching me the whole time then what would she think i remembered all the time it had raines since her death...my b day the time i won my first horseshow, even when my mom and i made up for as huge fight. it really healed me, now thinking, even if i knew it wasnt likely, that gramma was right there with me the whole time.
This is probably one of the worst songs ever. Let me understand what the narrator is saying...the kid is sad because grandma's dead, and his mother tells him it's OK, grandma's in heaven and crying so hard it's raining out. Thanks Mom, I feel better knowing grandma is dead AND miserably sad too!
This is probably one of the worse interpretations I've read on this website. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but your understanding of the song is even worse. The point is that during ones life there will be happy and sad times and their loved ones that have passed will always be with them, guiding them, celebrating with them and ultimately watching over them every step of the way.
