Butterfly Kisses
There's two things I know for sureShe was sent here from heavenAnd she's daddy's little girlAs I drop to my knees by her bed at nightShe talks to Jesus and I close my eyesAnd I thank God for all of the joy in my lifeOh but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayerStickin' little white flowers all up in her hairWalk beside the pony daddy it's my first rideI know the cake looks funny daddy but I sure tried
Oh with all that I've done wrongI must have done something rightTo deserve a hug every mornin'And butterfly kisses at night
Sweet 16 todayShe's lookin' like her mama a little more every dayOne part woman the other part girlTo perfume and make up from ribbons and curlsTrying her wings out in a great big worldBut I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayerStickin' little white flowers all up in her hairYou know how much I love you daddyBut if you don't mindI'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time
Oh with all that I've done wrongI must have done something rightTo deserve her love every mornin'And butterfly kisses at night
All the precious timeLike the wind the years go byPrecious butterflySpread your wings and fly
She'll change her name todayShe'll make a promise and I'll give her awayStanding in the bride room just staring at herShe asked me what I'm thinkin'And I said I'm not sureI just feel like I'm loosing my baby girlAnd she leaned over
Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama thereStickin' little white flowers all up in her hairWalk me down the aisle daddyIt's just about timeDoes my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?Daddy don't cry
Oh with all that I've done wrongI must have done something rightTo deserve her love every mornin'And butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more, then this is what love isI know I've got to let her go but I'll always rememberEvery hug in the mornin' and butterfly kisses
