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, But most of all...
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 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 cheek
this time."
With all that I’ve done wrong, I must
have done something right.
To deserve a hug every morning, and
butterfly kisses at night.
All the precise 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.
Stickin’ 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
have done something right.
To deserve a hug 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...
