Butterfly kisses

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,
Oh, 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 diserve a hug every mornin
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."
Oh
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)
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 bride room
Just staring at her,
She asked me
What I'm thinking
And I said "I'm 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 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 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
