There’s two things I know for sure
she was sent here from heaven
and she’s daddy’s little girl
as a draft to my knees by her bed and I
she talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
and I thank God for all the joy my life
oh the most of all
The butterfly kisses at the bedtime prayer
stick the little wild flowers all up in her hair
walk beside the pony daddy it’s my first ride
I know the kay it looks fun daddy but I should drive
oh with all that I’ve done wrong
I must have done something right
to deserve a heart every morning
and butterfly kisses at night
Sweet sixteen today
she looks just like her mama a little more every day
one part woman the other part girl
to perfume and make up from ravens and curls
tryin how all the wings in this great big world
but I still remember
The butterfly kisses at the bedtime prayer
stick the little wild 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 like the wind of years go by
my precious butterfly spreading all wings and fly
She’ll change her name today
she’ll make a promise and I’ll give her way
standing in the bedroom just staring at her
she’ll ask me what I’m thinking and
I’m said I’m not sure
I just feel like I’m losing my baby girl
she lings over and gave butterfly kisses
with her mother there
stick little wild flowers all up in her hair
walk me down thedaddy it’s just about time
this my wedding out look pretty daddy
please don’t cry
with all that I’ve done wrong
I must have done something right
to deserve her love every morning
and butterfly kisses
ohh
butterfly kisses at night
