Cliff Richard - Butterfly Kisses lyrics
[Cliff Richard - Butterfly Kisses 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
But most of all
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' 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"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night
Sweet sixteen today
She's looking like her momma a
Little more every day
One part woman, the other part girl
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings in a great
Big world but I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' 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 going to kiss you
On cheek this time"
With all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night
All the precise 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"
Then she leaned over and gave me
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
Stickin' little white flowers all
Up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle daddy
It's just about time"
"Does my wedding gown look pretty
Daddy?" "Daddy don't cry"
With all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more, man
This is what love is
I know I've gotta let her go
But I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning
And butterfly kisses
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
But most of all
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' 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"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night
Sweet sixteen today
She's looking like her momma a
Little more every day
One part woman, the other part girl
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings in a great
Big world but I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' 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 going to kiss you
On cheek this time"
With all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night
All the precise 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

But I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning
And butterfly kisses
