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... 



[Chorus] 

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 sixteen 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... 



[Chorus] 

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... 



[Chorus] 

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...
