_______________________________________________

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 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 mornin’
And butterfly kisses at night

Sweet sixteen 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

CHORUS

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 asks me what I'm thinking
And I said I'm not sure
I just feel like I'm loosing 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 have done something right
To deserve her love every mornin’ and butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more

Man, than this is what love is
I know I've got to let her go but I'll always remember
Every hug in the mornin’ and butterly kisses
