There's 2 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 more of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime 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"
In all that i've done wrong i know i must
have done something right to deserve a hug
every morning and butterfly kisses at night

Sweet 16 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
Butterfly kisses after bedtime 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"
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 gho 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 butterfly kisses with her mama there.
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk me down the aisle, daddy- its 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
sone something right
to deserve your love every morning
and butterfly kisses - I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is

I know i gotta let her go, but i'll always remember
every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses
