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
