Butterfly Kisses

	  		Introd.:  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 
   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
