Bob Carlisle Butterfly Kisses Lyrics

Butterfly Kisses Lyrics

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,

Oh, 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 out 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
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, 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 sticking little 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...
