""""Butterfly Kisses""""
by Bob Carlisle
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 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."
In all that I've done wrong I know 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."
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 my 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 your 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.

****Me and Angela Commentary****
"On the cheek THIS time?? Does that imply like....she'd kiss him on the lips before???"
"You 'must have done something right' because you touched her and shes not mad."
"Little white flowers...ALL UP IN."
"Like it's not even just like, in her hair."
"That's like gangster."
"That's like...jizz."
"It's like where are you getting flowers when it's after bedtime hair." (1)
"He like, picked them in the darkness."
"WITH HER MAMA THERE....DON'T THINK IM MOLESTING ANYONE WHEN THERE'S OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS PRESENT."
"Like did anyone be like...hey Bob Carlisle...your song is about incest and molestation."
"Like if they ever were like oh Bob Carlisle there's something in your teeth...."
"they could certainly be like...yeah that song!.."
"I don't want to be a part of this...disturbing song."
"No let's put the title. 'Butterfly kisses.'"
"By Bob Car-licel."
"But I feel bad because if he was just being ignorant-- like, didn't know that his song is actually about those things,...then...i feel bad, that's naive."
(1) "hair" somehow got on the end of the sentence...but it was so funny that we left it by suggestion of angela.
"Let's get some snacks." "Ok." "Let's get some food." "Ok." "Let's get some munchies." "Ok." "Let's get some food items." "Ok...!" "Let's get some.............sniveling..snacks." ":::pisses self:::" -about something else
