Kenny Rogers - 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

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 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

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"

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

All the precious time

Oh, 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 brideroom just staring at her

She asks me what I'm thinking and I said "I'm not sure -

I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl"

Then she leaned over and gave me

Butterfly kisses with her momma 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 her love every morning and butterfly kisses

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

Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses
