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
