|
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 of the joy in
|
my life, 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 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 mamma
|
a little more every day.
|
One part wman, the other part girl.
|
To purfume and makeup,
|
from ribbons and curls.
|
Trying her wings out in a great
|
big world. But I remember...
|
|
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."
|
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 prcious time
|
Like the wind, when 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 room
|
just staring at her,
|
she asked me what I'm thinking,
|
and I said "'m not sure,
|
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
|
Then she leaned over...and gave me...
|
|
Bytterfly kisses, with her mama there
|
Sticking 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"
|
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
|
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...
