(Sing along if you wish)

There's two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven,
and she's daddy's little girl.

Don't hurry, don't worry. You're only here for a short visit!

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, But most of all, for...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.

One does not make friends--one recognizes them.

Stickin' 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."

Trying to do better keeps life interesting.

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.

Putting off tough jobs makes them harder.

Sweet sixteen today,
She's looking like her momma
a little more everyday.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup,
from ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great
big world. But I remember...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.

Stickin' 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 going to kiss you on
the cheek this time."

To live forever in the hearts of friends is never to die.

With all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning,
And butterfly kisses at night.

The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer somebody else.

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly

Hello, Sheila!

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."
Then she leaned over....and gave me....
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there

Be as quick to overlook the shortcomings of others as you are to overlook your own.

Sticking little 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."

Read The Book!

With all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning,
And butterfly kisses

There will never be another now - make the most of today.

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