I just feel like I'm losin' my baby girl, she leaned over
I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried
Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy? Daddy don't cry
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
(Precious butterfly)
But I remember butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
Oh, like the wind the years go by
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right
Walk beside the pony, daddy, it's my first ride
There's two things I know for sure
Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there
She asked me what I'm thinkin' and I said, "I'm not sure"
But if you don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time
Walk me down the isle, daddy, it's just about time
I know I've got to let her go but I'll always remember
I couldn't ask God for more than this is what love is
Standing in the bride room just starin' at her
(Spread your wings and fly)

As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She'll change her name today
To deserve her love every mornin' and butterfly kisses
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
You know how much I love you, daddy
She was sent here from Heaven and she's daddy's little girl
One part woman, the other part girl
To deserve her love every mornin' and butterfly kisses at night
A little more every day
(All the precious time)
Trying her wings out in a great big world
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right
Sweet 16 today, she's lookin' like her mama
To deserve a hug every mornin' and butterfly kisses at night

Oh, but most of all for butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life
To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Every hug in the mornin' and butterfly kisses
