“Butterfly Kisses” Lyrics - Bob Carlisle

Lyrics

“Butterfly Kisses”


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, 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,

She’s looking like her mamma

A little more every day.

One part woman, the other part girl.

To perfume and makeup,

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.


All the precious time

Ohhh like the wind, when 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.”

Then she leaned over and 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 gotta let her go, but I’ll always

Remember

Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses
