Collin Raye - 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 prayers,
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 sixteen today,
she's looking like her mama,
a little more everyday,
one part woman,
the other part girl,
to perfume and makeup,
from ribbons and curls,
trying her wings out in the 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 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 your love every morning,
and butterfly kisses at night.

all the precious time...
oh like the wind the years go by..
all the preciouse time...
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 and gave me..

butterfly kisses with her mum 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 your love every morning,
and butterfly kisses,
i couldn't ask God for more,
man this is what love is,
i know i got to let her go,
but i will always remember,
every hug in the morning,
and butterfly kisses.
