Butterfly Kisses

Sometimes when I think of all the things that have happen in my life, I couldnt help smile of the things Ive did and regret the things Ive done. Ive grown so much now and sometimes the thought of me flying off on my own and starting my own family, its scarry. Its such a big leap from one to another and Im sooo attached to my parents now than ever. When I was a kid I cant wait to be big and do things on my own blah blah.....bt the more older Ive become, the more I learn to appreciate my dad and mum and Im more attached to them now than b4. Gosh.......Anyways Ive stumble upon a song that my dad love so much and his dream is always to dance to that song with me on my wedding day. My both 16th & 21st bday we didnt manage to dance to that becoz we couldnt ask that idiot DJ to find the bloody song. Each time I hear my dad favorite song, I couldnt help bt be emotional becoz I know that song resembles of my dad alot and I know how he feels when I hear that song. Anyways the song goes like this :

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.

Once when I was small, seen him singing to it and got tears.....From there on I start to learn about the song and the meaning of it and only to find out that it has a lot to say from a dad's point and by hearing this song one would know what a dad would feel. Haih....Anyways I love you dad no matter what happens!..
