Butterfly Kisses- Bob Carlisle

Everytime I hear this song, tears would sure brim my eyes... The lyrics memang tear-jerker lah (at least if you are as sensitive as me..heh!)

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 XXX 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."
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."
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 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.

p/s: It IS hard not to have somebody with you in the morning to take care of the baby while you get ready to go to work...hmmmppphhhh!!!
