Intro: (D) (A) (E) (A) (E) (D) (A)
There's (F#m) two things I know for (A) sure,
She was (F#m) sent here from heaven, and she's (A) daddy's little girl.
As I (Bm7) drop to my (F#m) knees by her (D) bed at night,
(Bm7) She talks to (F#m) Jesus, and (A) I close my (E) eyes.
And I (D) thank God for (E) all of the (A) joy in my (D) life.
Oh but (E) most of all..
For (D/F#) butterfly (A) kisses after (E) bedtime (A) prayers,
Sticking (D/F#) little white flo(A)wers all (E) up in her (F#m) hair.
(Bm7) Walk beside the pony dad, it's (A) my first ride.
I (Bm7) know the cake looks funny daddy but (A) I sure tried.
But with (F#m) all that I've done wr(E)ong, I must have done (F#m) something (B7) right.
To deserve a (D) hug every morning and (E) butterfly kisses at (A) night.
(F#m) Sweet 16 to(A)day,
She's (F#m) looking like her Mama, a little (A) more everyday.
(Bm7) One part (F#m) woman, the (D) other part girl
To (Bm7) perfume and (F#m) makeup from (A) ribbons and (E) curls.
(D) Trying her (E) wings out in a (A) great big (D) world.
But I (E) remember...
For (D/F#) butterfly (A) kisses after (E) bedtime (A) prayers,
Sticking (D/F#) little white flo(A)wers all (E) up in her (F#m) hair.
You (Bm7) know how much I love you daddy, but if (A) you don't mind
I'm (Bm7) only gonna kiss you on the (A) cheek this time.
But with (F#m) all that I've done wr(E)ong, I must have done (F#m) something (B7) right.
To deserve a (D) hug every morning and (E) butterfly kisses at (A) night.
She'll (F#m) change her name to(A)day,
(F#m) She'll make a promise, and I'll (A) give her away.
(Bm7) Standing in the (Bm7) bride room, just (A) staring at her.
She (Bm7) asks me what I'm thinking, I (A) said I'm not sure.
I just (F#m) feel like I'm (E) losing my (A) baby girl.
And she leaned (E) over..
And she gave me (D/F#) butterfly (A) kisses with her (E) Mama (A) there,
Sticking (D/F#) little white flo(A)wers all (E) up in her (F#m) hair.
(Bm7) Walk me down the isle daddy, it's (A) just about time.
Does my (Bm7) wedding gown look pretty, (A) daddy don't cry.
