Butterfly Kisses


There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven, and she's daddy's little girl
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
She talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all the joy in my life,
Oh, but most of all, for

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk beside the pony, daddy, it's my first ride"
"I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To diserve a hug every mornin and butterfly kisses at night

Sweet sixteen today,
She's looking like her momma a little more every day
One part woman, the other part girl
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world
But I remember

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
"You know how much I love you, daddy, but if you don't mind,
I'm only going to kiss you on the cheek this time"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses at night

(All the precious time)
Oh, like the wind, the years go by
(Precious butterfly)
(Spread your wings and fly)

She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Standing in the bride room just staring at her,
She asked me what I'm thinking, and I said "I'm not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl"
Then she leaned over and gave me

Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
Sticking little flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time"
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?" "Daddy, don't cry"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses

I couldn't ask God for more Man, this is what love is
I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses
