***Butterfly
Kisses***
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;
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."
In all that I've done wrong I know 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
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."
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...gave me butterfly kisses with
her mama there,
Sticking little white
flowers all up in her hair
"Walk my 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 your love every morning and butterfly
kisses-I couldn't ask God for more, man 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.
