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 butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer 

Sticking 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 make-up, from ribbons and curls 

Trying her wings out in a great big world 

But I remember 





Butterfly kisses after bedtime 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 brideroom just staring at her 

She asks 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 momma 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!" 

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 got to let her go 

But I'll always remember 

Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses
