Bob Carlisle - 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 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 ... 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." Then she leaned over...
and gave
me...
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there sticking little 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...
