Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle

[00:08.340]There's two things I know for sure
[00:15.010]She was sent here from heaven, and she's Daddy's little girl.
[00:21.800]As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
[00:26.510]She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
[00:36.450]And I thank God for all of the joy in my life, oh but most of all...
[00:50.560]For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
[00:55.270]Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
[01:03.800]Walk beside the pony Daddy, it's my first ride
[01:08.380]I know the cake looks funny Daddy, but I sure tried
[01:15.750]Oh with all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right
[01:26.290]To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.
[01:37.780]Sweet sixteen today
[01:43.530]She's looking like her Mama, a little more everyday.
[01:50.360]One part woman, the other part girl
[01:57.920]To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
[02:03.960]Trying her wings out in a great big world
[02:10.390]But I remember...
[02:16.150]Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
[02:22.640]Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
[02:30.070]You know how much I love you Daddy, but if you don't mind
[02:36.840]I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time.
[02:43.960]With all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right
[02:52.300]To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

[03:05.210]All the precious time,Oh, like the wind the years go by.
[03:18.960]Precious butterfly,
[03:27.650]Spread your wings and fly.
[03:34.140]She'll change her name today.
[03:42.190]She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away.
[03:48.860]Standing in the brideroom just staring at her
[03:55.540]She asks me what I'm thinking, and I said I'm not sure.
[04:02.140]I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl,
[04:09.200]And she leaned over...
[04:13.740]Gave me butterfly kisses with her Mama there
[04:23.600]Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
[04:30.170]Walk me down the aisle Daddy, it's just about time.
[04:38.000]Does my wedding gown look pretty Daddy?
[04:42.020]Daddy, don't cry.
[04:35.180]Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must of done something right.
[04:52.720]To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses,
[04:59.850]I couldn't ask God for more, than this is what love is.
[05:10.740]I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember...
[05:19.170]Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses.
