Collin Raye - Butterfly Kisses lyrics

rate me

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 for..

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer

Stickin' 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

And she's lookin' like her mamma a little more every 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

Stickin' 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

Oh the precious times

Oh, like the wind the years go by

Precious butterfly

Spread your wings and fly

She'll change her name today

and 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"

And she leaned over...and gave me...

Butterfly kisses with her mamma there

Stickin' 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 a her love every morning and butterfly kisses

I couldn't ask God for more

Man, this is what love is

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

Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses
