Butterfly - India Arie

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 of the joy in my life
Oh but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking 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
She's looking like her momma a little more every day
One part woman the other part girl
To perfume and make up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world
But I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking 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 the 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
Oh like the wind the years go by
Spread your wings and fly
She'll change her name today
And 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
Then she leaned over and gave me
Butterfly kisses with her momma 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
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
Man this is what love is
To love every morning and butterfly kisses at night
