Butterfly Kisses

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayers
Sticking 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've done something right
To deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night

[Verse 2]
Sweet sixteen today
She's lookin' 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 butterfly kisses

[Verse 3]
She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Standing in the bride's room just starin' 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
And she leaned over

[Chorus]
And gave me butterfly kisses with her momma there
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk me down the aisle daddy, it's just about time
Does my weddin' gown look pretty, daddy? Daddy don't cry
With all that I've done wrong I must've done something right
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses for life
