Please wait for song to play


          ~~Bob Carlisle~~

          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 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,
          Oh, 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."



          She leaned over and gave me ...
          Butterfly Kisses, with her Momma 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."



          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 got to let her go



          But I'll always remember ...
          Every hug in the morning
          And butterfly kisses ....
