Butterfly Kisses

1. 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.

[Chorus 1:]
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.

2. Sweet sixteen today
She's looking like her mother 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.

[Chorus 2:]
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 a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night.

3. She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Standing in the bedroom 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.

[Chorus 3:]
Butterfly kisses, with her mother there
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time"
"Does my wedding dress look pretty, daddy?"
"Daddy, don't cry"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses
A every hug in the morning
And butterfly kisses at night.
