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 of the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all for......
Chorus
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 16 Today
And she's lookin' like her mama a little more each 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.....
Repeat Chorus
Oh, like the wind the years go by
Spread your wings and fly
She'll change her name today
and 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 I said, "I'm not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl"
And she leaned over ...and gave me.....
Repeat Chorus
