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
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
WITH ALL THAT I'VE DONE WRONG I MUST 'AVE DONE SOMETHIN' RIGHT
TO DESERVE A HUG EV'RY MORNIN' AND BUTTERFLY KISSES AT NIGHT
SWEET SIXTEEN TODAY
SHE'S LOOKING LIKE HER MAMMA A LITTLE MORE EV'RY DAY
ONE PART WOMAN THE OTHER PART GIRL
TO PERFUME AND MAKEUP FROM RIBBONS AND CURLS
TRYING HER WINGS OUT IN A GREAT BIG WORLD
BUT I REMEMBER...
BUTTERFLY KISSES AFTER BEDTIME PRAYER
STICKIN' 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 'AVE DONE SOMETHIN' RIGHT
TO DESERVE HER LOVE EV'RY MORNIN' AND BUTTERFLY KISSES AT NIGHT
OH 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 LOOSING MY BABY GIRL
SHE LEANED OVER...AND GAVE ME
BUTTERFLY KISSES WITH HER MAMMA THERE
STICKIN' LITTLE WHITE FLOWERS ALL UP IN HER HAIR
WALK ME DOWN THE ISLE DADDY IT'S JUST ABOUT TIME
DOES MY WEDDING GOWN LOOK PRETTY DADDY DADDY DON'T CRY
WITH ALL THAT I'VE DONE WRONG I MUST 'AVE DONE SOMETHIN' RIGHT
TO DESERVE HER LOVE EV'RY MORNIN' AND BUTTERFLY KISSES
COULDN'T ASK GOD FOR MORE THEN THIS IS WHAT LOVE IS
I KNOW I GOTTA LET HER GO BUT I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER
EV'RY HUG IN THE MORNIN' AND BUTTERFLY KISSES
