Lyrics

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 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."
In all that I've done wrong I know 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 my 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 your love every morning and butterfly
kisses-I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.


I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses.

THE FIRST TIME MY FATHER HEARD THIS SONG HE CRIED W/ SORROW AND JOY KNOWING THAT HE WILL SOON GIVE ME AWAY HIS OLDEST DAUGHTER BUT RECOGNIZING HE WAS GAINING A SON TOO. VERY EXCITING TIME FOR ME TO BE PLANNING MY DREAM WEDDING AND KNOWING THIS WILL BE OUR SONG TO WALK DOWN THE ISLE..
i love this song and i think that it is very appropriate for my big day and i think that everything will be fine as long as my daddy is here... and through the years daddy if i didnt give you butterfly kisses for real they were always waiting on you... through the good and the bad...
This is going to be my father daughter dance. I have always been Daddy's little girl! When i was younger about 12 or so I dedicated this song to my dad when we were at church and I made a dance to it and did it at church so it will bring back so much memories and tears!

I let my dad choose the song for the father daughter dance and this is the song he picked. I love it it makes me cry to know at the end of next year me and my dad will be dancing to this song after he gives me away at my wedding!

Gets me sobbing too! I live in mi and my dad in oklahoma and makes me miss him even more!
I love this song but people that I have talked to think it is to cliche and too long for a father daughter dance, any opinions?

I love this song. It was a song my dad and enjoyed together. My dad was my bestfriend. He passed away about 10 years ago. I will dance to this song with my brother-in law- in memory of my dad. I just hope I can get through it without completing loosing it. Daddy I miss you. But someone I know you will be looking down on me, as I dance to this song.For the person who said people said this song is too cliche- No Way. If you love your daddy the way I loved mine it is perfect.
I love this song, it makes me cry when I hear it, my dad was my bestfriend. I didnt realize how hard it is going to be without him being there. He would have been so happy. I would like to have it played, but I dont know if I could recover.
I love this song it makes me think of my dad. This is a have to for every wedding.
This will be my father and daughter song. Its going to be so hard for me not to cry..OMG!
i have dreamed of this song as my father daughter dance ever since i was small and now im getting married and i know its not going to change
Dang every time i hear this song i cry!!!!WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME,because iam not a big cryer i cant wait till my dad hears it bacause we use to always do butterfly kisses more then real kisses i think of that song like its for me and him wow i cant wait till we dance to it on my day im gonna cry and mess up my make up and hes going cry i just no it ....
I danced with my father to this at his wedding... I can't wait to dance with him to it at my wedding in September! It makes me cry everytime I hear it.
this has been me and my dads song for like ever thats why im gonna play it at my wedding for just him & I
This has been my father and I's song ever since i was a little girl, this is how i learned what butterfly kisses were. He wont even listen to this song as were planning, imagine dancing on the wedding night =)
I am thinking of having this song, maybe just the last verse about giving her away and then the chorus to walk down the aisle to with my dad. We have chosen another song as our first dance song. I am having problems picking an entrance song for me and thought this would be good since my dad is walking me down the aisle. Any opinions on this????
I knew I wanted this song as my Father/Daughter dance song long before Matt and I got engaged. It is sooo PERFECT. :)
i am getting married spring 2011 and this is the song i have always wanted as me and my daddies song...it means alot to both of us...i am his only daughter and youngest child and last getting married, so it will be very special...and i am sure tearful......:)
I love this song I can decide I want the most perfect song for my dad an I. Leaning more towards this one. Both song mean so much to me. Cant deside???

my dad dedicated this song to me.. -_-.... it makes me cry..
the first time i've heard of this song,i was so touched and i felt like crying...i remembered my parents and missed them so much at that very moment.so sad,i went to the altar without them by my side...they were both with Jesus now.
This is my Father Daughter dance song! I am so close to my dad that the song has to be PERFECT and this is it!!!
I am a complete mess when i listen to this song I cried so hard im blessed that my daddy is still here with me and will be able to walk me down the isle..He still calls me his baby and everytime i look in his eyes i feel the love he has for me. i'd prefer to use a song i know he will know the meaning of so im going to have to stick to a spanish song for the father daughter dance but this is such a beautifull song im playing it at some point :)
I know my daddy and I are going to cry when this plays for us next november! But He will know how much I love him and that I will always be his little girl!!
This song is more like a song that the dad would walk his daughter down the Aile to
this is my song i willllll be dancing with my daddy
