Lyrics - Butterfly Kisses by 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.(background)
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.
