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 all for

butterfly kisses after bed time 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

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 si teen 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 bed time 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

oh 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

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 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 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 her love every morning

and butterfly kisses

i couldn't ask god for more

man this is what love is

i know i've gotta let her go

but i'll always remember

every hug in the morning

and butterfly kisses
