Butterfly Kisses

Lyrics

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 prayers
 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've done something right
 To deserve a hug every morning
 And butterfly kisses at night
 ♪
 Sweet 16 today
 She's looking like her mama, 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
 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, 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've done something right
 To deserve her love every morning
 And butterfly kisses for life
