Butterfly Kisses

There's two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven, and she is 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
sticking 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 looking like her mama, 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 great big world
but i remember..

butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
sticking 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..

(choir: All the precious time)

Oh, like the wind the years go by

(choir: 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 staring at her.
She asks 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....

Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there, sticking little white
flowers all up in her hair.

Walk me down the aisle daddy, it's 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 got to let her go...but I'll always remember...

Every hug in the morning.. and butterfly kisses....
