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 deserve a hug every morning
　　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
　　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...
