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 the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer;
sticking 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."
In all that I've done wrong I know I must
have done something right to deserve a hug
every morning and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and make-up 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 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."
She leaned over...gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there,
Sticking little white flowers all up in her 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 morning 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.

介绍：

Bob Carlisle grew up in Santa Ana, CA. and started at the age of seven taking private music lessons. He was not only taught to read music and play guitar, but eventually learned orchestration and arranging. From the beginning his music has always been about passion. The reason he first started playing guitar and singing was wound around his hunger to make great music.

Carlisle earned a music scholarship to college and was groomed to be a legit tenor. He fell head over heels in love with the Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, James Brown side of the world. While hisy heart is still in soul, Carlisle appreciates anything that's done authentically and well--like a lot of today's country music. His roots, though, are definitely soul.

Butterfly Kisses 介绍：

Butterfly Kisses是指用眼睫毛 (eyelashes) 象翅膀一样地在另一个人的面颊或是睫毛上拍打，常是大人亲热孩子的举动。中文里没有相应的词，暂且翻译成“蝴蝶之吻”好象也说得过去。台湾的滚石唱片1998年底出过一个英文CD叫“SMASH强打旋风”，用Butterfly Kisses作压轴歌曲，他们把Butterfly Kisses翻译成《蝶舞》，好象有点太写意了？！

　　美国抒情乡村歌手Bob Carlisle在他女儿Brooke十六岁生日的前夕，看着女儿长大成人了，不久就要远走高飞了，感慨万千而写下了这首歌。Bob以沉稳柔情的嗓音，伴以吉它委婉的合旋，深邃真情的唱出了伟大的父爱。歌中唱到一个父亲对女儿从小到大的很多美好回忆，最动人最难忘的就是那每日睡前祷告后的"Butterfly Kisses"。同时他想到女儿今后结婚时的情景，当想到她婚礼后就要改为夫性，婚礼前当他注视女儿时，女儿问爸爸在想什么，“我不知道，我只是觉得我将失去我的乖乖女”…….我们女儿最后给了爸爸一个“Butterfly Kisses” …….“Daddy，别哭”…….

　　这首歌把一个父亲对女儿的爱写得感人致极。旧金山的San Francisco Chronicle报的报导说，边开车边听此歌的听众把车子停到路边，泣不成声…….不瞒你说，我也曾经听这首歌听得我满眼泪花。现在这首歌已经成为美国婚礼上必放的歌曲。

　　这首歌灌成唱片后，在排行榜上扶摇直上，成为流行歌曲在流行音乐（pop）台、乡村音乐（country）台、轻音乐（easy-listening）台等Top 40电台上面高居“热门”榜首。唱片成为1997年夏季销售的第一名，卖了两百多万张。1998年获得了第四十届格莱美（Grammy Awards）最佳乡村歌曲奖。Bob被称为抒情天王是美国专辑榜、成人抒情榜、福音歌曲榜排行三冠王。
