Here’s more proof of what kind of a sap I am. I am a sucker for songs, books and movies that touch the heart. This is a song from a few years back that still gets me.
HOLES IN THE FLOOR OF HEAVEN – Stevie Warner
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 watchin,
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 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 her 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’s twenty-three,
I walk her down the asile,
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 watching now”,
And there’s holes in the floor of heaven,
And her tears are pourin down,
That’s how you know she watching,
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,
Watching over you and me,
Watching over you and me,
Watching over you and me
