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... 
    C

 "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...
