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;
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…

Leptirski poljubac

Dve stvari znam sigurno:
Ona je ovde poslata iz raja i ona je tatina devojčica mala.
Kad uveče padnem na kolena kraj njenog kreveta
Ona se obraća Isusu a ja sklopim oči
i zahvalim Bogu za svu radost u mom životu
Oh, ali najviše za

Za leptirske poljupce nakon molitve pred spavanje;
zadevanje malih belih cvetova u njenu kosu;
“Hodaj pored ponija, tata, ovo mi je prvo jahanje.”
“Znam da torta izgleda čudno, tata, ali baš sam se trudila.”
Oh, u svemu što sam pogrešio, mora da sam nešto i dobro uradio
Da zaslužim zagrljaj svakog jutra i leptirske poljupce uveče.

Danas slatkih šesnaest puni
Svakog dana sve više na svoju mamu liči
Jednim delom žena, drugim  devojčica.
Od parfema i šminke do trakica i loknica
Isprobava svoja krila u velikom svetu.
Ali ja se sećam…

Leptirskih poljubaca nakon molitve pred spavanje;
zadevanja malih belih cvetova u njenu kosu;
“Znaš koliko te volim tata,
Ali ako nemaš ništa protiv, ovog puta ću te samo poljubiti u obraz.”
Oh, u svemu što sam pogrešio, mora da sam nešto i dobro uradio
Da zaslužim njenu ljubav svako jutro i leptirske poljupce uveče.

Sve to dragoceno vreme
Kao vetar, proleću godine.
Dragi leptire
Raširi krila i leti.

Ona će danas promeniti prezime.
Nekom se obećati, a ja ću je predati.
Stojeći u mladinoj sobi samo je gledajući.
Pitala me je o čemu razmišljam, a ja sam rekao
“Nisam siguran, samo imam osećaj da gubim svoju malu devojčicu.”
Ona se nagla

Dala mi leptirske poljupce, dok joj je mama
Male bele cvetove u kosu zadevala
“Otprati me do oltara, tata,
– došlo je vreme.”
“Jel mi lepa venčanica, tata? Tata, nemoj plakati”
Oh, u svemu što sam pogrešio, mora da sam nešto i dobro uradio
Da zaslužim njenu ljubav svakog jutra i leptirske poljupce

Ništa više od toga nisam mogao tražiti od Boga, čoveče tako je to kad voliš nekoga.
Znam da je moram pustiti ali uvek ću se sećati
Svakog jutarnjeg zagrljaja i leptirskih poljubaca…
