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 of 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 deserve a hug every morning

And butterfly kisses at night

Sweet sixteen today

She's looking like her momma

A little more everyday

One part woman, the other part girl

To perfume and makeup

Form ribbons and curls

Trying her wings out in a great big world

But I remember

Butterfly kisses

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

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"

With all that I've done wrong

I must have done something right

To deserve her love every morning

And butterfly kisses for life
