BUTTERFLY KISSES (unknown)

(noted for my daddy)

There is 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 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
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 thingking,
and I said "I am not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl"
Then she leaned over ..... and 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"
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
