Butterfly Kisses ~ by Bob Carlisle & Raybon Brothers ~ 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 bad 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
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 shes 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 a her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night
(All the precious time) Oh, 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 I said I'm not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl
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, its 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 got to let her go... but I'll always remember...
Every hug in the morning... and butterfly kisses...

What are Butterfly Kisses?
Fluttering one's eyelashes on someone's skin so they just feel the tickling sensation.
Example: Trisha leaned in and gave me butterfly kisses on my cheek.
Plural of Butterfly Kiss... this is how it's done:
1. Get your eyelashes up against some else's bare skin, so close that when you blink, your eyelashes caress the other person's skin.
2. Open and close your eyes rapidly. Each time your eyelashes brush the other person's skin, it is one Butterfly Kiss.
Question: What is a Butterfly Kiss and how do I do it?
Answer: A Butterfly Kiss is a kiss that does not involve the lips. It is when two people put their eyes close to each other and flutter their eyelashes. Think blinking really fast while pressing your face to another person.

About The Song...
"Butterfly Kisses" is a 1997 Billboard #1 ballad by Bob Carlisle and Randy Thomas from Carlisle's third studio album Butterfly Kisses (Shades of Grace).[1] The song was written for his daughter Brooke's 16th birthday.[2] Carlisle also wrote a journal entitled Butterfly Kisses for fathers and their daughters. There have been many cover versions of the song including Raybon Brothers, Jeff Carson, Westlife and Cliff Richard.
Raybon Brothers version
The same year that Carlisle's version was released, two different country music artists recorded covers of the song. These covers would overlap with his version, which was also a minor hit on the country charts. The higher-peaking cover was issued by the Raybon Brothers, a duo composed of Marty Raybon (former lead singer of Shenandoah) and his brother Tim. The Raybon Brothers' version was a #37 country and #22 Hot 100 hit in 1997. One of three singles for the duo, it was also the title track to the Raybon Brothers' 1997 MCA Records debut album. The Raybon Brothers' rendition received RIAA gold certification.
