BUTTERFLY KISSES LYRICS

I just heard this song a century ago...but I did not lend my sense of hearing to this kind of music since I am simply not interested.
One day, I just borrowed a USB from a dear pal while I was busyly taking my comprehensive exam at the English Department and so I was enjoying and listening to her collection of songs....and one of that is Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle........I just noticed that I got carried away by the song....as if I'm already a Daddy...whew.
As I was savoring the melody of the song...the message behind on it deeply soothes in my heart.....this song is now a part on my collections as well.....I truly like the song.The song was so precious and sentimental as it is dedicated to a father sadly losing her favorite girl. It's truly a song that captures the emotions felt for a father on his daughter's wedding day.....unbelievably she's grown up enough to be a woman and ready to settle down.

I posted the lyrics here and you can simply view the video as well...by simply clicking the site below..
BUTTERFLY KISSES
by Bob Carlisle
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 todayShe'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 rememberButterfly 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.
