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,
|
But most of all, for...
|
|
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
|
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
|
"Walk beside the pony daddy,
|
its 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 momma
|
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 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 going to 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 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 room
|
just staring at her,
|
she asked me what I'm thinking,
|
and I said "I'm not sure,
|
I just feel like l'm losing my baby girl."
|
Then she leaned over...and gave me...
|
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
|
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
|
"Walk me down the aisle daddy, its 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've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
|
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses for life...
