Intro: D(10) - A(9) - E(7) - A(5) - E(4) - D - A


Vs.1
        F#m                   A
There's two things I know for sure,
        F#m                              A
She was sent here from heaven, and she's daddy's little girl.
     Bm7        F#m7         D            Dsus2
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
Bm7          F#m        A          E
She talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
      D             E          A         D
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life.
       E
Oh but most of all..


Chorus:
   *D/F#       A            Esus4   A 
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayers,
 D/F#                 A           Esus4     F#m
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
Bm7                            A
Walk beside the pony dad, it's my first ride.
Bm7                                   A
I know the cape looks funny daddy but I sure tried.
         F#m                E                       F#m       D/F# 
But with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right.
             D                     E                   (A) 
To deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night.


Guitar:  Intro riff


Vs.2
Sweet 16 today,
She's looking like her Mama, a little more everyday.
One part woman,
The other part girl, to perfume and makeup from ribbens and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remember...

D/F#      A       Esus4  A
Butterfly kisses.



Vs.3
She'll change her name today,
She'll make a promise, and I I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room, just staring at her.
She asks me what I'm thinking, I said I'm not sure.
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl.
And she leaned over..


Chorus:
And she gave me butterfly kisses with her Mama there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
Walk me down the isle daddy, it's just about time.
Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy don't cry.
For all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses for life.
