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
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 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a 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
(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's room just staring 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, gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk my 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 gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses
