             Am                               C 
 There's two things I know for sure. 
               Am                                               
 She was sent here from heaven,  
                  C 
 and she's daddy's little girl. 
         Dm              Em                F          G 
 As I drop to my knees by her bed at night, 
   Dm                              F               G 
 she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes. 
              F                  G             C             F 
 And I thank God for all of the joy in my life, 
             G 
 oh but most of all, for...

 Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair. 
    F                                                 Em 
 "Walk beside the pony daddy, it's my first ride." 
        F                                                             Em 
 "I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried." 
                 F                          G 
 Oh, with all that I've done wrong, 
                                C             D7 
 I must have done something right 
                       F

 Sweet sixteen today,

 She's looking like her momma a little more everyday. 
     Dm           Em           F            G 
 One part woman, the other part girl. 
         Dm            Am                   F                 G 
 To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls. 
    F              G                      C             F 
 Trying her wings out in a great big world.

 "You know how much I love you daddy,  
             Em 
 But if you don't mind, 
         F                                             Em 
 I'm only going to kiss you on the cheek this time." 
           F                         G 
 With all that I've done wrong 
                                  C           D7 
 I must have done something right.

 All the precious time.

 Like the wind, the years go by

 Precious butterfly. 
     F                               G 
 Spread your wings and fly

 She'll change her name today. 
  Am                                             C 
 She'll make a promise, and I'll give her away. 
  Dm                    Em                    F             G 
 Standing in the bride room just staring at her, 
          Dm                         Em                  F                      G 
 She asked me what I'm thinking, and I said "I'm not sure, 
            F                    G            C    F 
 I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl." 
                   G 
 Then she leaned over....an gave me.... 
       C 
 Butterfly kisses, with her mama there 
                                                         Am 
 Sticking little flowers all up in her hair 
     F                                                     Em 
 "Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time" 
                     F 
 "Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?" 
    Em 
 "Daddy, don't cry." 
           F                          G 
 With all that I've done wrong, 
                                C             D7 
 I must have done  something right 
                           F

                  F                                       G 
 I couldn't ask God for more, man, this is what love is 
        F                                                   G 
 I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember 
             F                                         G                         C 
 Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses at night...
