Butterfly Kisses -Based on The Song 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  Frigga 

And I close my eyes

And I thank  Odin  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 16 today

She'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 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

Ooh

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"

And she leaned over

Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama 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
