Bob Carlisle - 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 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 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
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.

All the precious 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 asked me what I'm thinking and I said
"I'm not sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
She leaned over

Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,
Sticking 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

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

  3. T.... B....

    I remember when I heard this song back in 95. I was 13 and I've said that if I ever have a daughter, this will be her song. She's 13 now and I play this for her once in a while to remind her of how I feel. This song will last forever ❤️
    Thank you Bob

  4. R.... M....

    Only had him till my 16th birthday... This song means so much to me 😭😢

  5. v.... p....

    I imagined KOBE was singing this to GIANNA every night.....

  6. a.... p....

    My dad used to sing this to me all the time .....☹️

  7. P.... B....

    This was my wedding song. So beautiful!

  8. M.... C....

    Last week married my daughter off to this song, and I sang it to her as we did our dance, we both where in tears at the end of it, a very true and amazing song.
    Thank you Bob for this masterpiece.

  9. H.... M....

    Amazing song

  10. A.... M....

    I love my father so much he plays the part of both my mom and dad ❤️ he has never given up on me

  11. L.... P....

  12. O.... P....

    My first dance with my daddy ,i love my King.

  13. K.... C....

    He is a father to the fatherless this song always brings tears to my eyes every time i rhink if alk the food that God has done for me, even tho i dont deserve it

  14. I.... K....

    This reminds me of me and my dad

  15. T.... T....

    I MUSTVE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT TO DESERVE!

  16. S.... M....

    I'm 55 and my daddy is still my world. And lord I do the ugly cry with this song.

  17. A.... E....

    I know this would've made the song too long but it might have also been nice if he also put a part in the song about a daughter becoming a mom and making her daddy a grandfather. When parents see their children become parents, it makes them realize how grownup they've become but it also brings them a lot of joy.

  18. B.... ....

    I hear this song and I am planning on walking my daughter down the isle one day. I can’t keep that promise anymore but told her it’s still on my to do list. I told her I will do everything in my power and limitations to be there and give her that before I have to say goodbye. I have to win this battle for my baby girl. 😞

  19. J.... H....

    R.I.P Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna Bryant 😭 may God bless you and your family 🙏😥 🙏😥 🙏

  20. N.... R....

    Is this the original singer? I check this after heard Westlife cover. Perfect both.

  21. L.... H....

    Wow awesome ❤️

  22. C.... R....

    it is the last day of January,2020 and I still love to listen to this man singing.Because of this song I have many of his albums and every one of them are brilliant!

  23. R.... J....

    I cry when i hear this song 😭😭😭... thank God she's only 3 years old now....but it's going really fast to this moment i give her away...

  24. K.... C....

    This was my mom's daddy/daughter dance at her wedding. 22 years later I'm learning how to play it on the piano crying as I remember that my grandpa is now a quadrapegic and won't be able to dance with her to this again.

  25. C.... M....

    This is one of my favorite songs in the whole world I ❤️ it.

  26. B.... ....

    LOVE THIS SONG

  27. A.... C....

    it’s my dads birthday tomorrow and i hate to see him grow older

  28. A.... B....

    This song makes me cry. I hope god will let my dad be here for my big day🙏

  29. J.... T....

    This song always makes me cry.

  30. T.... R....

    This song and Garth Brooks "the dance" are like water release buttons :(

  31. P.... B....

    Dad's got a beautiful 3 years old nephew, he would be proud of her, proud of our family. I wish I could just talk to him for only 5 minutes, just to know he's fine. Be with me forever dad, I love you.

  32. C.... P....

  33. J.... L....

    This is the perfect father to daughter song. First time I heard this song was in history class in high school 20 years ago. My history teacher had the radio on one day as background music, and this song was playing. Can't believe it's been 20 years. All the precious time, oh like the wind, the years go by

  34. R.... R....

    This song popped in my head. It's good in my head but this guy can't sing lol. Nice song tho lol

  35. A.... D....

    I got married last year and moved away from my parents for the first time ever. My mom wanted me to dance to this song with my dad on the day of but I thought it was too corny. I listened to it almost every night leading up to my wedding though. My dad was and is so good to me, I’m so grateful he is alive and in my life.. my condolences to everyone who doesn’t have their dad. Dads are the best.

  36. J.... s....

    I love this song. My Dad sing this song to me when I was a little baby. 😊😘

  37. s.... a....

    Who is listening to this amazing song in 2020? ❤️ 😍

    s.... a....

    This was my wedding song! I was my daddy's girl! He has passed on....so sad.

    s.... a....

    me and still cryin

    s.... a....

    Meeee😍😍😍😍

  38. S.... B....

    This made me cry, because I remember my daddy singing this to me when I was little. Now I've grown up and I realized all the bad he has done. I wish we could go back to the days when I'd give him a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night.

  39. R.... P....

    Omg I lost my dad 2 years ago and this song has me crying my eyes out

  40. F.... f....

    literally cried bro, salute

  41. K.... D....

    Love this song, I have 4 kids and have missed all of them

    K.... D....

    Thank y'all, every day I miss them and hopefully they miss me as much as I miss them

  42. D.... D....

    This has been my favorite song for years, and my daughter picked it out for the music as we danced the Father/Daughter dance at her wedding. I could not hold back the tears.

  43. l.... b....

    December 2019??

  44. C.... T....

    I will never get the chance to walk down the aisle with my dad he passed away on 12/12/2019 😢😢😢💔💔💔

  45. V.... C....

    My own father neglected me. My own family abused me. I was then adopted by someone who I loved as a brother. He promised he will walk me down the aisle in place of my father and as a brother. He is a good man who always kept his words, but no matter what, it is not the same as having a real father. If only my father never neglected and abandoned me, then I would be content with only my father as my only loving parent. But I know that will never happen....😔😔😔😔😔😔😔🙍🙍🙍🙍🙍🙍

  46. J.... A....

    I loved b k

  47. e.... b....

    Today would have been my Dad's 69th birthday and he loved this song. He sadly passed away in 2016 and this song makes me feel close to him.

  48. p.... ....

    Who listens to this hot garbage? just came here for the laughs about a pedophilic song between a father and daughter LOL

  49. S.... V....

    I love your songs. mr.bob💕💝💋💝

  50. j.... ....

    My dad died 10 yrs ago and I remember him listening to this and he'd cry .( My mom took us from him and put us up from adoption behind his back ) so when we found our dad we were 18 19 yr and he would tell me how much he .issed us growing up

  51. j.... ....

    Wish people would quit asking who still listening in 2019 this shit old

  52. j.... ....

  53. S.... ....

  54. M.... M....

    I want my daddy back 😭

  55. M.... M....

I just wish that I gave you more hugs and kisses. Thank you so much for everything. I love you Dad. From your girl always NJ XXXX 😣😥😪😫😓😔😕🙁😖😞😟😢😭😭😭 🥰😘🤩❤🤗😍💋💋💋

  56. J.... B....

    This is one of the best songs to come out in the last fifteen years.

    J.... B....

    This song sucks!

  57. M.... B....

    Heard this song for the first time on my grandfathers funeral in 2013 6 years later I found it and the tears are rolling over my cheeks

  58. Z.... O....

    Ever since I was young I wanted a baby girl and I reserved this song for her to play it for her.... however fate deprived me of kids... however I have a niece whom I love with all my heart.. and we totally inseparable and I'm just waiting for the right moment to dedicate it to her.. I love her more than I cud love myself or anything in this world... cant wait......

  59. M.... S....

    Love Mr s pillay LOVE LOVE Mr s pillay

  60. M.... S....

    I. Love My. Dad

  61. M.... T....

    Today is my sweet girl's wedding😭😭😭😭

  62. C.... M....

  63. s.... m....

    My favorite ❤️❤️💖💖💜💜

  64. T.... B....

    I'm going to do a father and daughter dance to this song with my grandfather😊at least I know that he loves me🙃

  65. J.... N....

    I would love for that song to be played for the pilot episode of a new show called The Big Heart Theory. At the last scene where Sheldon would dance to this song with his newborn daughter, Jasmine.

  66. B.... L....

    I’m still listening to this going into 2020

  67. S.... A....

    My daughter and I danced to this during the father daughter dance at her wedding last night. What a beautiful heart touching song. Thank you Bob for writing it. God bless you.

  68. K.... J....

    Actually crying because this is my dad's and my song. It means so much to me. I love my dad so much, I thank God for him every single day.

  69. o.... ....

    Miss you jewels daddy loves you so much wish could see you

  70. C.... M....

    This song always shatters my heart i'll never have the opportunity due to parental alienation. Moms and Dads know that when you aim to harm the other parent by using children, you are causing irreversible damage to those children and your own grandchildren by default.

  71. B.... B....

    I love my daughter, but not in a creepy way...

  72. D.... R....

    They don t make this songs anymore...great voice great lyrics..very touching!!!

  79. a.... n....

  87. J.... S....

    I like this version better. And my late uncle dereck had 2 brand new cds of this single. He was going to play this song for his daughter's wedding.

  88. s.... ....

    My daughter chose this as her Father/Daughter at her wedding recently. There wasn't a dry eye in the venue. Brilliant song.

  89. c.... ....

    This song makes me cry.... Powerful

  90. m.... ....

    I remember listening to this in 1997 when my daughter was sleeping in her crib.
    I started wondering about all these moments and thought about her growing up and getting married one day.
    Still brings a tear to my eye in 2019

  91. L.... W....

    My dad sang this song to me and my sister Unfortunately we didn't have long until he died falling off stares😭😭😓😓

  92. G.... ....

    I have heard this song before, never really had any impact on me and haven't listened to in many years and then one random Monday night driving home after work it starts on the radio and I tear up. What happened? Well, I had a five-year-old daughter since I last heard the song and man, did it hit home...

  93. C.... G....

    Such beautiful lyrics and composition. I pray every girl gets the opportunity to dance to this song with their daddy.

  94. H.... ....

    I first heard this song about a month before my daughter was born, it's a wonder I didn't wreck the car. This song always makes me cry...

  95. b.... b....

    This song is for our Daughter Chantal love you more and Daddy loved you so
