There's two things I know for sure.
|
She was sent here from heaven, and sheĄŻs daddyĄŻs 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, But most of all...
|
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
|
StickinĄŻ little white flowers all up in her hair.
|
"Walk beside the pony daddy, itĄŻs my first ride."
|
"I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried."
|
Oh, with all that IĄŻve done wrong, I must have done something right.
|
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.
|
|
Sweet sixteen today.
|
SheĄŻs looking like her momma a little more every day.
|
One part woman, the other part girl.
|
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
|
Trying her wings in a great big world. But I remember...
|
|
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
|
StickinĄŻ little white flowers all up in her hair.
|
"You know how much I love you daddy, but if you donĄŻt mind,
|
IĄŻm only going to kiss you on cheek this time."
|
With all that IĄŻve done wrong, I must have done something right.
|
To deserve a hug 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.
|
|
SheĄŻll change her name today.
|
SheĄŻll make a promise, and IĄŻll give her away.
|
Standing in the bride room just staring at her.
|
She asked me what IĄŻm thinking, and I said, "IĄŻm not sure,
|
I just feel like IĄŻm losing my baby girl."
|
Then she leaned over... and gave me...
|
|
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there.
|
StickinĄŻ little white flowers all up in her hair.
|
"Walk me down the aisle daddy, itĄŻs just about time."
|
"Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?" "Daddy donĄŻt cry."
|
With all that IĄŻve done wrong, I must have done something right.
|
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses.
|
I couldnĄŻt ask God for more, man, this is what love is.
|
I know IĄŻve gotta let her go, but IĄŻll always remember.
|
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...
