Butterfly
Kisses
Bob
Carlisle:
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, 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 of 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 everyday.
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
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.
With
all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right
To
deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

All
the precious time,
Oh,
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 brideroom 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,
And
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 just about time.
Does
my wedding gown look pretty Daddy?
Daddy,
don't cry.
Oh,
with all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right.
To
deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses,
I
couldn't ask God for more, than 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.
