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 of 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 deserve a hug every morning
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."
She leaned over and gave me ...
Butterfly Kisses, with her Momma there
Stickin' little white 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 got to let her go
But I'll always remember ...
Every hug in the morning
And butterfly kisses ....
