There's two things I know for sure.
        Em7                               G
She was sent here from heaven, and she's daddy's little girl.
     Am          G           C          D,.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night, |.
Am            G         C           Dia
she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
      C              D          G         C
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life, 
            D7
oh but most of all, for...

Butterfly Kisses after bedtime prayer
           Gsus4         G       Gsus4         Em  D
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
C                                    G
"Walk beside the pony daddy it's my first ride"
C                                    G
"I know the cake looks funny daddy, but I sure tried"
C                    D                    G         A  A7
With all I've done wrong I must have done something right                
               C                      D                     Gsus4  G
To deserve her hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night

Em7             G
Sweet sixteen today,
       Em7                              G
She's looking like her momma a little more everyday.
Am       G           C         D
One part woman, the other part girl.
    Am         G            C           D
To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.
C            D              G          C              D7
Trying her wings out in a great big world. But I remember...

C                    D                    G         A  A7

All the precious time.  
         Gsus4            G     Gsus4
Like the wind, the years go by
G              Bb  D7
Precious butterfly.        
C            Am7      D7
Spread your wings and fly  

Em7                       G
She'll change her name today.
Em7                                G
She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away.
Am                G               C          D
Standing in the bride room just staring at her,
     Am                 G               C              D
She asked me what I'm thinking, and I said "I'm not sure,
C                    D            G    C
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."  
                  D7
Then she leaned over....an gave me....

Butterfly Kisses with her mamma there
           Gsus4         G       Gsus4        Em   D
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
C                             G
"Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time"
C                                    G
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?"  "Daddy, don't cry."
C                    D                    G         A A7
With all I've done wrong I must have done something right                

                 C                    D7
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses 

            C                     D
I couldn't ask God for more, man, this is what love is
  Eb                                   G
I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
       C                      D7                
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...
