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
Its 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
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
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 stairing 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 mama
there
Stickin' little
white flowers
All up in her
hair
Walk me down the
aisle daddy
Its 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
