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 of the joy in my life

Oh, but most of all

Chorus

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 16 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 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

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

Chorus

Gave me butterfly kisses

With her mama there

Sticking little whit 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

And this is what love is

I know I gotta let her go but I'll always remember

Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses
