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...

   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...

 "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.

 All the precious time.

 Like the wind, the years go by

 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

 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

 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...
