Butterfly Kisses

There're two tings 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 firs 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 mama
A little more every day
One part woman
The other part girl
And to perfume and makeup
From ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world
But I remember

Those 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 gonna 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 her precious time
Oh like the wind the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread you 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 ask 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
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 gotta let her go
But I'll always remember
Hugs in the morning
Butterfly kisses at night
