Thereand's two things i know for sure
she was sent here from heaven,
and sheand's daddyand'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 for....
Chorus
butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
andquot;walk beside the pony, daddy,itand's my first rideandquot;.
i know the cake looks funny, daddy, but i sure triedandquot;.
Oh, with all that iand've done wrong,
i must have done something right
to deserve a hug every morning
and butterfly kisses at nightandquot;
Sweet sixteen today,
sheand's looking like her momma a little more each day
one part woman, the other part girl,
to perfume and make-up
from ribbons and curls
trying her wings out in a great big world.
but i remember.....
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
andquot;you know how much i love you, daddy,
but if you donand't mind
iand'm only going to kiss you on the cheek this timeandquot;
oh, with all that iand've done wrong,
i must have done something right
to deserve a hug every morning
and butterfly kisses at nightandquot;
All the precious time
like the wind, the years go by
precious butterfly, spread your wings and fly,
sheand'll change her name today
sheand'll make a promise
and iand'll give her away
standing in the bride room just staring at her
she asked me what iand'm thinking, and i said andquot;iand'm not sure, i just feel like iand'm loosing my baby girlandquot;.
then she looked over...and gave me...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
andquot;walk me down the aisle, daddy, itand's just about time. does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy? daddy, donand't cryandquot;
With all that iand've done wrong, i must have done something right,
to deserve her love every morning and
butterfly kisses at night.
I couldnand't ask god for more,
man, this is what love is
i know iand've got to let her go, but iand'll always remember....
butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
with all that iand've done wrong, i must have done something right,
to deserve her love every morning and
butterfly kisses at night.
