Intro:  C    Am  C

             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...

 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                      G

 She asked me what I'm thinking, and I said "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...
