• As a daddy's little girl
    There was only one time -
    When that song began to play -
    That she would see him cry.
    She laughed a lot and found it funny
    She told him it was dumb to be blue
    She promised him she would be mean
    One day; she knew just what to do.

    All the years of praying
    On stars she spent her wishes
    That on her wedding day,
    Here father-daughter dance...
    Would be "Butterfly Kisses."

    Two weeks 'till her "sweet sixteen"
    She thought nothing could go wrong
    But when she got home from school that day
    Two thirds of that song were suddenly gone

    Chorus

    Her emotions in a bunch
    The biggest day of her life
    She walks down the isle alone
    Completely dressed in white
    At the reception
    She walked up to the DJ knowing what to say
    "I have only one request,
    One song you have to play."
    She spun across the dance floor
    With no on e by her side
    Everybody in the room
    Could do nothing more than cry.
    She said:
    "All those years of praying
    On stars wasting all my wishes
    Have come true today
    'Cause my father-daughter dance...
    Is 'Butterfly Kisses' "
