SINGER: Mercy Me

SONG: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,
but most of all for....
Chorus
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 sixteen today,
she's looking like her momma a little more each day
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 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 a hug 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 loosing my baby girl".
then she looked over...and gave me...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
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"
With all that i've done wrong, i must have done something right,
to deserve her love every morning and
butterfly kisses at night.
I couldn't ask god for more,
man, this is what love is
i know i've got to let her go, but i'll always remember....
butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
with all that i've done wrong, i must have done something right,
to deserve her love every morning and
butterfly kisses at night.
