美國抒情鄉村歌手Bob Carlisle在他女兒Brooke十六歲生日的前夕，看着女兒長大成人了，不久就要遠走高飛了，感慨萬千而寫下了這首歌。Bob以沉穩柔情的嗓音，伴以吉它委婉的合旋，深邃真情的唱出了偉大的父愛。

歌中唱到一個父親對女兒從小到大的很多美好回憶，最動人最難忘的就是那每日睡前禱告後的"Butterfly Kisses"。同時他想到女兒今後結婚時的情景，當想到她婚禮後就要改為夫性，婚禮前當他注視女兒時，女兒問爸爸在想什麼，“我不知道，我只是覺得我將失去我的乖乖女”…….我們女兒最後給了爸爸一個“Butterfly Kisses” …….“Daddy，別哭”…….

這首歌把一個父親對女兒的愛寫得感人致極。

Bob Carlisle - 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,
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 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 wevery 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...
