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;
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."
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 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."
She leaned over…gave me butterfly kisses with her mama
there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk my 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 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.
