Lyrics
What you are about to read is the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. In a sense, this song is dedicated to my wonderful and loving father.
I plan to play this for my father the day I get married. I think the words say it all.
I feel like the lyrics will speak the words my father might want to say when we have that special "Father & Daughter" Dance.
Butterfly Kisses
by Carlisle
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, 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."
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 Sixteen today.
She�s looking like her momma a little more every day.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings 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 going to kiss you on cheek this time."
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.
All the precise 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."
Then she leaned over...and gave me...
Butterfly Kisses, with her mama there.
Stickin� 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."
With all that I�ve done wrong, I must have done something right.
To deserve a hug 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...
