Touched by Fatherly Love

Tweet

I'm not sure, but I think most of Americans have heard Butterfly Kisses sung by Bob Carlisle before, am I right? The first time I listened to it was when I was still in college, I got it from a vocal English magazine, it was said that Bob wrote this song for his little girl's 16th birthday. The melody touched me deeply, though it was sung in a totally different language, I still couldn't help burst into tears....by the fatherly love. My father is a reserved man, he always keeps silent but is very strict with me which makes me annoyed, for one long period I didn't wanna talk to him, I believed that what I did and said must have hurt him a lot, but he never complained anything. I didn't change my mind that he is a stubborn and cold-blood person until when I myself went to an unfamiliar city which was far from my home hunting a job for the first time and suffered a lot there, I was told my mother that, my dear father cried for the first time...until then, I realized that my father always loves me so much. 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 kneesby here 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 everday. 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, 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 here away. Standing in the bride-room just starring 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 here 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 moning 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.
