Butterfly Kisses

之前提过daDi一直很想有个女儿,让他可以在至少25年后,在女儿的婚礼上献唱"Butterfly Kisses"给女儿。

maMi心血来潮,上网搜寻Bob Carlisle写给他女儿的这首歌。看着MV,一边唱着,心里觉得好感动,眼泪也不知觉的掉下。

想象着Bob Carlisle写这首歌的心情,。"It was her song," Bob says. "It was the best way I knew how to express intimately how I felt about her". 看着从小被捧在手心上的小女儿,到女儿长大找到自己的幸福,做父亲的要把女儿托付给另一个男人,不舍的心情不言而喻。

So daDi, I'm wonder if you can really finish this beautiful and emotional song at your daughter's wedding, but I'll definitely stand beside you through the tears..... :)



Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle



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,
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,
She's looking like her momma a little more everyday.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup,
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 going to 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.
"Then she leaned over....and 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.
"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've gotta let her go,
but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning,
and butterfly kisses...
