Songs to dedicate to Jessica

[denver83tet]

I didn't know Jessica, but from reading everyone's posts, I thought this to be a wonderful song to dedicate to her. I think it is by Steve Warner.....

Holes In The Floor Of Heaven

One day shining eight years old
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
Momma smiled said don’t be sad child
Grandma’s watchin you today

’cause there’s holes in the floor of heaven
And her tears are pourin’ down
That’s how you know she’s watchin’
Wishin’ she could be here now
And sometimes if you’e 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 pourin’ 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
There’s holes in the floor of heaven
And she’s watchin’ 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 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 her tears are pourin 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
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

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have

If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

And maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me,
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me
One more chance to keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied [/QUOTE]

This is from a song called "Bright Eyes" sung by Art Garfunkle in the movie Watership Down. The song was sung as the rabbit Hazel passed away.

Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Rest in Peace sweet Jessica. My candle for you burns in the window each night.

I did not have the honor of knowing Jessica as well as others did here, but this is for her:

Steven Curtis Chapman
Signs of Life Album
1Thess. 4:13-14 / Heb. 6:9, 10:23

This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...

We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again

And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free, and ...

We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so ...

We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope

I Believe
Skip Ewing/Donny Kees

Every now and then soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it’s like you haven’t been gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I’m sure we’re closer than we ever were
I don’t have to hear or see, I’ve got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe

Chorus
That when you die your life goes on
It doesn’t end here when you’re gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I’m right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, I believe

Forever, you’re a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
And I’ll hold you even longer if I can
The people who don’t see the most
Say that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy, then I am
‘Cause I believe

There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe
