Song Lyrics

"Butterfly Kisses"

by Bob Carlisle
Album: True Believer

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 here 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

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 should try it
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

Sweet 16 today
She's lookin like her mama a little more every 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
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 gonna kiss you on the cheek this time
Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must've done something right
To deserve her love every morning
And butterfly kisses at night

All the precious times
Oh like when 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 asks 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

And gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there
Stickin little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk me down the aisle Daddy
It's just about time
ANd does my wedding gown look pretty Daddy
Daddy don't cry
Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must've 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 have to let her go
But I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning
And butterfly kisses
