Butterfly Kisses

Copied some Mp3's from COB... one of the songs copied was Butterfly Kisses. I really don't have any Idea what this song is about; most mp3's I listen to are under the rock and alternative genres. I only listen to slow music when I feel like it.

So I was browsing along the list of songs COB copied for me and the song Butterfly Kisses got my attention... so I played it... slow orchestrated melody... simple tune but the meaning of the song somehow touched me...

Even though I yet have a family of my own, the feeling of knowing and loving someone for very long time with memories that would fill even the vastness of the universe correlates to the meaning of the song.

I remembered at my sister's wedding, as she prepared to walk along the aisle towards the altar you can see the happiness in her eyes... at first I felt nothing special... just like all weddings I attended. But as the music starts... Choirs started singing.... and she slowly walks... everything seems to freeze.... memories of all the joys and troubles we experienced started pouring in... I can feel my lips getting dry... my eyes getting damp... my sister is leaving and I'm going to miss her...

Anyway here are the lyrics of the song.

Butterfly Kisses

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
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"
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
And she's lookin' like her mamma 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
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 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 the precious times
Oh, like the wind the years go by
Precious butterfly
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 asked me what I'm thinking and I said "I'm not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl"
And she leaned over...and gave me...

Butterfly kisses with her mamma 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 a her love every morning and butterfly kisses

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
