Bob Carlisle Lyrics
"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 all for...

[Chorus]
Butterfly kisses after bed time prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk beside the pony daddy; its 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 mama a little more everyday
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...

[Chorus]
Butterfly kisses after bed time prayer
Sticking 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 gonna 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; gave me...

[Chorus]
Butterfly kisses with her mama 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
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 gotta let her go
But I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning
And butterfly kisses...
