Am C
There's two things I know for sure
Am
She was sent here from heaven
C
and she's daddy's little girl
Dm Em F G
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
Dm F G
she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes
F G C F
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life
G
Oh but most of all, for
C
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Am
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
F Em
'Walk beside the pony daddy, it's my first ride'
F Em
'I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried'
F G
Oh, with all that I've done wrong
C D7
I must have done something right
F
To deserve a hug every morning
G C
And butterfly kisses at night
Am C
Sweet sixteen today
Am C
She's looking like her momma a little more everyday
Dm Em F G
One part woman, the other part girl
Dm Am F G
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls
F G C F
Trying her wings out in a great big world
G
But I remember
C
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Am
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
F
'You know how much I love you daddy
Em
But if you don't mind,
F Em
I'm only going to kiss you on the cheek this time.'
F G
With all that I've done wrong
C D7
I must have done something right
F
To deserve her love every morning
G C
And butterfly kisses at night
D# Dm
All the precious time
C
Like the wind, the years go by
D# Dm
Precious butterfly
F G
Spread your wings and fly
Am C
She'll change her name today
Am C
She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away
Dm Em F G
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
Dm Em F
She asked me what I'm thinking, and I said
G
'I'm not sure
F G C F
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl'
G
Then she leaned over an gave me
C
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
Am
Sticking little flowers all up in her hair
F Em
'Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time'
F
'Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy'
Em
'Daddy, don't cry.'
F G
With all that I've done wrong,
C D7
I must have done something right
F
To deserve her love every morning,
G
And butterfly kisses
F G
I couldn't ask God for more, man, this is what love is
F G
I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
F G C
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses at night
