BUTTERFLY KISSES Bob Carlisle
C Am C Am
There's two things I know for sure She was sent here from heaven
F G Dm G
And she's daddy's little girl As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
Dm Am G
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
F Dm G Am Dm G
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life. Oh, but most of all, for...
F C G C
Butterfly Kisses after bedtime prayer
F C G C
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
F C Am
"Walk beside the pony daddy, It's my first ride."
F C G
"I know the cake looks funny daddy, but I sure tried."
F Dm G Am
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right
N.C. F C G G7 C
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night
C Am C Am
Sweet six-teen today She's looking like her momma
G F Dm G
a little more every day One part woman, the other part girl
Dm Am G
To perfume and makeup from ribbons and curls
F Dm G Am C G
Trying her wings out in a great big world But I remember
F C G C
Butterfly Kisses after bedtime prayer
F C G C
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
F C Am
"You know how much I love you daddy but if you don't mind
F C G
I'm only going to kiss you on the cheek this time."
N.C. F C G G7 C
To deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night

Precious butter- fly spread your wings and fly
N.C. C Am
She'll change to her name today She'll make a promise
F G
and I'll give her away
Dm G Em
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
Dm G Em
She asked me what I'm thinking and I said, "I'm not sure
F Dm C Am
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl
F C G
Then she leaned over and gave me
F C G C
Butterfly Kisses with her mama there
F C G C
sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
F C Am
"Walk me down the aisle daddy it's just about time
F C G
Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?" "Daddy don't cry."
F Dm G Am
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right
N.C. F Dm G Am
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
F C G
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses
