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, oh, but most of all

For 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
And she's looking like her momma, a little more every day
One part woman, the other part girl
Into perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world but I remember

Those 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 gonna kiss you on cheek this time"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night


All this 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 asks me what I'm thinking and I said, "I'm not sure
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl" and 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 her love every morning, 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
Hugs in the morning, butterfly kisses at night
