There are 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, 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,"

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 you 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 hr momma there

Sticking 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 her love every morning,

And Butterfly kisses...

I could '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 at night...

This is one of my favorite songs by

Bob Carlisle.

~~~

My father never held me tight

or told me he loved me...

he never told me I was pretty

and he never gave me a kiss.

~~~

So do not let your children go to bed another night without giving them Butterfly Kisses...
