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 of the joy in my life

Oh, but most of all

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 lookin' like her mother a little more every day

One part woman, the other part girl

To perfume and makeup from ribbons and curls

Tryin' 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

If you don't mind

I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time"

Oh, with all that I've done wrong

I must have done something right

To deserve a hug every morning

Butterfly kisses at night

She'll change her name today

She'll make a promise and I'll give her away

Standin' in the bedroom, just starin' at her

She asked me what I'm thinkin'

And I said, "I'm not sure

Just feel like I'm losin' my baby girl"

Then she leaned over

And gave me

Butterfly kisses with her mother there

Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair

"Walk me down the aisle, Daddy, it's just about time

Does my wedding dress look pretty, Daddy?

Daddy, don't cry""

Oh, with all that I've done wrong

I must have done something right

To deserve a hug every morning

And butterfly kisses

A hug every morning

And butterfly kisses at night
