I lost my wife in 2017, and I'm raising our two little girls on my own. They're 13 and 10 now. It kills me that their mother won't see how amazing they are. That they won't have their awesome and beautiful mother to guide them as women through life 😢. But, for all I've done wrong, they are my saving grace. They deserve the best of me, and God, how i love butterfly kisses and praying with them. ❤ The way they are growing into such amazing young ladies is what lets me know im not doing such a bad job. And oh yea, great song 😂
I was taking cear of my sister in law for a long time she couldn't walk or talk n she was about 8years older then me but I looked at her just like she was my daughter n she loved her butter fly kisses to me
It takes a real loving man to step up and be both mom and dad. God bless you and your girls. Like the timeless song..What the World needs Now is love sweet .❤️
My precious little girl went home to the Lord last month. I wanted to sing this song at her wedding. I did not get the chance. Dads, treat your daughters as the gifts they are.
I don't have kids, don't know if I ever will, but I do agree with you. Never take your child for granted. Children are gifts, especially to those who appreciate them.
I am not a parent, but this song still touches me. It was Father's Day last weekend. I was thinking about friends who are fathers, and the mark that my own father left on me.
I know the feeling. I lost my Amber on 4/14/14. There is nothing I can say that makes the pain go away. The only advice I can give you is do not let her memory fade away. For my Amber, this is the only thing that keeps me going. The youtube videos help even though my wife does not understand.
my daughter passed a week ago this song will be played at her memorial along with buckets of tears from me daddy will always love you Melissa Fawn RIP BABY GIRL
Sorry for your loss, I know the pain never goes away ❤️ I lost my daddy who was also my best friend when he was only 58 in 2022 and I been listening to this song since he passed away from cancer plus the Father's & Daughters song by Michael Bolton. 😢
My dad used to sing this to my sister and I. He passed away a few days ago and my sister put this on to write his obituary. Couldn't help writing something in honor of him. I love you dad, rest in peace 🕊️🕊️💕💕
I'm sorry to hear about your dads passing. My dad also passed away in 93, and it still hurts to this day. 😢 again, my condolences to you and your family. 😢
This was my husband's and my daughter's song. RIP MELISSA ASHLEY. (((our perfect babygirl))) our miracle, my forever birthday gift from heaven. Forever 23, forever loved, forever missed. I miss my babygirl. Butterfly kisses.❤❤❤
I told my dad when I first heard this song that I would do my father daughter dance with him at my wedding. Well 8 months ago I finally got the chance. :D
My father took his life in 2019 this was the song he was supposed to walk me down the aisle to now my grandpa (his dad) is going to in a little over month ❤️😢❤️
Me the same!! Aso the 4 year old daughter! I heard this song after years and years in the car on my way to get her from school today and walked towards the schoolyard with teared up eyes. What a painful, horrifying song 🙈.
Daughters are very special I only have one but how God has blessed us with her.She works as a radiologist therapist in a cancer center alot of her patients call her there angel.I know she is an angel to us.Thank you God for her.
This song brings to mind a little nine year old orphan girl who came into my life back in 1971. My very first words to her were to tell her that mother had died and gone to heaven. At that time I had no interest in children or babies but somehow we developed a love for each other which grew stronger over the years . i remember there were times when she would hug me and say I wish you were my real dad. As time passed she grew up and fell in love with a truly wonderful man, she asked me to give her hand in marriage which I did, but like all dads I cried to have to let her go. Twenty five years of happy marriage passed but in 2015 after a 12 year battle with cancer she finally lost her battle. Again I cried having to let her go a second time and today is the seventh anniversary of her passing. I miss her very much and always will, but I still give thanks to LORD JESUS for the 51 years that he gave us together. She was and will always be my little girl.
Marcus Reeves i first listened to this song when I was 15 I guess and i never get tired of listening to it. But this makes me miss my dad more😥 Now, I listened to it again just on time for the Father’s Day! Happy Father’s Day to you if you are a father. Bless you and your family
Im almost 14.. I have been adopted since I was 4 yrs old, I dont want my adoptive dad to walk me down the isle, I want my biological dad to... I have not had contact w/ him in yrs... If it was not for the fact that he gave me up, I wouldn't be here.. Any advice?
This was my song for the father daughter dance at my wedding 15 years ago. My father passed away 3 days ago and I will cherish this song forever. I love you Daddy. 😪💔💙❤
Brings a tear to my eye every time, especially because my wife grew up without a dad, and now more so that I have a daughter of my own. A truly beautiful song
thank you. you actually wrote this comment the day before my father's passing. He will not be with me physically on my wedding day, but he will be with me in spirit.
EVERYDAY I THANK GOD THAT I WAS RAISED BY A PURE HEARTED,VIRTUOUS, AND HONORABLE MAN....WHO TRULY WAS THE MAN WHO STEPPED UP AND BROUGHT ME UP RIGHT....THOUGH I DIDN'T COME FROM HIS LOINS.....INSTEAD....FROM HIS HEART...AND GREAT WISDOM; THE HONORABLE MISTER WALTER LAMAR GREEN....AND I THANK YOU OVER A BILLION TIMES FOLD FOR YOU AND YOUR BELOVED WIFE CALLIE LEE GREEN FOR SAVING MY LIFE 50 YEARS AGO IN LATE AUGUST 1972 AT THE AGE OF 7 & 1/2 YEARS OF AGE! ❤❤🔥💝💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌
I didn’t have my dad when I was growing up, so seeing other people have their fathers is always touching to me. This song always warms my heart, Enjoy your dad’s ❤❤❤
This is mine and my dad’s song. I can’t imagine being without him. My heart goes out to all of the little girls that never got to dance with their dad.
I danced to this, with my dad, at my wedding♥️. He passed away a month later🥺 I will never forget that moment with him. It's been 24yrs now😞 8 kids later and my oldest daughters danced to this with their dad.
@@jenniferbarnes1614 I’m so sorry to hear that. Don’t forget that moment. No matter what. That’s something you want to keep close to your heart forever❤️
This tune kills me everytime I hear it. Being a dad of two little girls ... I fight back tears every time. Great job Bob .. this composition will remain relevant forever.
God took my dad home today . He used to play this song for me when I was little. I wish he could be here to see me turn 15 in a week, to see me start high school, to see me drive, to see my prom, to graduate, to send me off to collage, to give me away, to become a grandpa, and so much more. I luv u forever daddy.
This song is timeless. This was the song that we danced to after I gave her away. Almost brought me to tears. Thanking God that I was there for this moment
My Daddy always tells me: "Even after I walk you down the aisle, you will still be my little girl. I will NEVER 'give you away'" and I love that. Someone I can rely on no matter WHAT
Exactly what I told my daughter. She is still my baby girl even though she's now 30 with a 9 month old angel. Her little girl already has me wrapped around her little fingers.
My father memorized this whole song and would sing it to me every night before bed. I'm now 15 and we no longer do things like that. My father is sick and most likely won't be at me wedding, so every time I here this song I cry. It makes me think I won't be able to have a daddy daughter dance at my wedding. As I kid I always dream of my dad and me dancing to this song at my wedding but as I grow and see how sick he is I cry because it might not happen. Thank the Lord for this song and thank the Lord for showing me father this song so he could memorize it and give a memory I will forever hold on to.
I'm super sorry, sweetheart. Just try to focus on the good memories. He loves you, but it may just be getting to his "time." We all have to go. It is really hard, especially at your age. I'm a stranger, but I'm thinking of you. You will be ok. It is just going to take awhile. If you believe in God, you will feel that your Dad is well taken care of, and not to worry. Your heart will be trashed though. Hang in there, I'm thinking of you....
Just know that you can dream of him and doing that with him, though, even when he eventually passes away. Like... you can learn to LUCID DREAM; and get to meet up with him again. He'll always be in your heart little one.
Four years ago, I danced with my dad to this song at my sweet 16. This past Friday, I danced to it again with him at my wedding. I love you, dad. I’m so thankful for you. ❤️
I have always loved butterflies for over 70years My beautiful dad called me His special butterfly Butterfly Kisses will be in My heart forever Thankyou xxxooo
The first time that I heard this song is when my youngest daughter was deployed in the army. And when she finally came home, I played this beautiful song for her
My daughter and I danced to this during the father daughter dance at her wedding last night. What a beautiful heart touching song. Thank you Bob for writing it. God bless you.
I danced with my daughter to this song on her wedding night November 2020, I had planned dancing with her to this song since she was a baby. What an emotional and amazing night...
Last week married my daughter off to this song, and I sang it to her as we did our dance, we both where in tears at the end of it, a very true and amazing song. Thank you Bob for this masterpiece.
I might not know you but my dream is singing. As soon as I read your comment, I immediately started writing another version of this song for you. You will get your song. I promise. I’m in middle school so I may not know the feeling of being a mother but I can imagine. You’re gonna get your song. I’ll let you know when it’s out. Have a great day! ❤
My daddy used to sing this to me when I was younger. He always thought he didnt deserve me. My daddy passed away 7 months ago. I never got to say goodbye. I really wanted him to be here. For my 16th birthday. For my prom. For my wedding. For my first baby. But my daddy is in a better place, his pain is now gone. May you rest in peace daddy. I love you 💕 Edit: just lost my uncle about 3 days ago :/ Edit: I'm turning 16 in 8 days, I'm not sure I'm ready to do it without my dad
This was my dad's favorite song to sing to my two sisters. This was the song he and my older sister danced to at her wedding. He passed away three months ago, and this song tears me a new one each time. Such a beautiful song, admired by such a beautiful man. I love and miss you, Daddy.
reddread07 He truly was. More than you know! Heck, more than I knew. When I heard all of the stories in his work life and years before he had me... wow, such a great person!
There is no grather sensation than hearing her voice yelling "Daddy, here comes my Daddy" from your doughter, and watch her running to you. Even when I miss that, I have it inside my heart and it will never go. All the sadnes of the world can't turn that little light off.
I know what you mean. My daughter is almost 3 and my heart almost bursts when I her how her face lights up when I pick her up from school. Nothing like it.
+Makenna Awesome Yes he did. He was a great father. Always there for me when I needed him. Don't feel bad. He's in a better place now and no longer in pain.
This is one of the songs played at my daughter's funeral years ago. I miss her everyday and sometimes wonder what she would've looked like today as she would've been 21 yo this past October. I made that little angel a promise two weeks before she left this earth to be with Jesus that I broke and it still sometimes makes me cry her daddy I miss him but I can't tell him that because of circumstances that occured between us . Every now and then the night that led to her passing plays out and if I were honest my question for her daddy would be why? God knows and I know and yet even with all that I still love that man . Lord protect me from harm as I post this in Jesus name Amen
My Father refused to go to my church wedding and walk me down the aisle . It hurt but My Heavenly Father walks with me daily. I played this song at my daughter's wedding, it's a beautiful song. Been married 47 years God has blessed me.
After 47 years you still carrying thst grudge. How about you try understanding from your father's perspective as to why he didn't si that you can move on.
My parents separated when I was 4 but my dad and I have always had this strong bond which only grew stronger as years passed. I’m turning 30 in 2 months and I’m thankful that I have my dad, I love him so much! To him I’ll always be his little girl no matter what even if I have 4 younger siblings now. Cheers to all the dad’s out there! Happy Father’s Day!
This song has always been a song for my dad and I. This is the first time listening to it since he passed away on the 21st of this month. Thankful that I can listen to it and remember all the happy moments we shared over the years.
The only father I ever knew died 22 days before my 13th birthday, and I never knew my biological father. I turned 31 last week, and I still miss my dad every day. It hurts knowing he won't physically be there when I graduate from college next spring, nor will my mom, as she joined him eight years ago. They are, however, safe in my memories.
It's admirable for you to love the man who raised you even though he wasn't your biological father. I have some friends in the same position. It's always important to know that ones who raise us, protect us and love us are the people we call Mom and Dad, even if they aren't our biological parents.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It always reminds me how fast my daughter is growing up, and I can't stop it :( Treasure each moment with your little girls, dads...they grow up sooo quickly.
Last week my oldest daughter gave me an assignment for her upcoming wedding (August 2022)... To select a song for the father / daughter dance at her wedding reception. She doesn't know that I have been planning this song since the month before she was born! I believe this song was released in June of 1995, while she (my first child) was preparing to enter the world just one month later! I have memories of driving in my car listening to this song with tears flooding down my face. All of this even before I met her! Now, as I listen to "Butterfly Kisses", I'm standing alone crying like a baby, and I know there is no way I could get through this song during our dance. Although life has not followed MY original plan, I have no idea why I've been blessed with TWO of the most wonderful daughters any parent could dream of My youngest daughter was married on New Year's Day this year, and for reasons that are still unclear to me, she decided 3 years ago to take her stepfather's last name. I certainly have no bad feelings towards my daughter or her stepfather; and my heart broke for both of my daughters when they suffered the loss of their stepfather to cancer in February. I would gladly take every bit of their pain; that they might be spared. As long as both daughters are happy and healthy, everything else is background noise. As all parents discover just moments after meeting their newborn child, there is nothing in the world that can diminish a Father's Love for his children (as well, the special bond between father and daughter!) May my girls experience even a fraction of the joy that has filled my heart ❤️ But for now, the work starts as I attempt to desensitize myself to the flood of emotions that overtake me while listening to this song - 3 months is not long enough - I think I better have a backup song!
Me and my daughter decided to play this song at the Father and Daughter dance for her wedding ! It came out when she was fifteen. And I would sing it to her her going to church. Thank You Mr. Carlisle. It was Great ! 👍 😭 P.S. I was AMAZED at the girls that came up and said how much they knew and loved this song (and we picked it) because that's what they wanted with their Daddy's ! 😊
I have three adult daughters. When they were little, one of the older women in my office told me, "wait until they become teenagers. They will make your life hell." I am happy to say that prophecy never came true. It would be an understatement to say the girls have been a blessing. Are my girls perfect? Of course not. Nobody is. But my relationship with them is pure gold.
I haven't received love from my father when I was a child, so every time I listened to this song I couldn't help but cry, I wish God would let me find someone who truly love and protect me,never let me go, love me unconditionaly like a father's love for a daughter🥺
i just can't help crying everytime i hear this song especially the part when she'll changed her name today. i love my daughter so much and she's been a wonderful blessing to our family. from the first time i held her and saw her smile, till the time when i was teaching her to ride a bike and have our lil father and daughter date on a nearby ice cream parlor. she would always tell me that she loves me so much and she will always be there for me. i guess i'm just scared that i won't be his number one anymore and that i wouldn't be enough for my precious daughter. the scary feeling that you're no longer needed. geez, don't grow up too fast kiddo. we still have tons of memories to build. until then i guess i just have to prepare my feelings till the day that i'll walk you to the aisle. i trust that God has a special plan for you just don't hurry things up, ok? :) i love you so much baby and always keep in mind that no matter what happens you will always have a big place in my heart.. i love you!!!
I have been married for 8yrs, my dad walked me down the aisle. He is still the best dad ever, no one can ever take his position. Dont be scared you will always be her number one.
I sang this song at my daughter's wedding. It was very difficult to do at that moment, but it turned into a near-out-of-body-experience. All went well, and she's been married quite a few years, but I still think of how it felt at that moment.
This was the song my sister and Dad danced to at her wedding. You know it's a great song when the photographer stops taking pics because she is crying too hard to continue! Bless all the brides and Dads who dance to this!
My little girl is due in a couple of months. I've always loved this song but now it holds a new meaning, I cant wait to hear " daddy's home " it's amazing how much love one can have for someone who isn't even born yet. I tear up just thinking about it.
I have no idea how I'm going to dance to this song with my Daddy on my wedding day, but I will. 🧡 Watching him and my sister dance to it on her wedding day brought me to tears too, especially since he didn't know she was going to have a father/daughter dance. He cried and so did I and so did others. 🧡
I remember listening to this song when I was much younger. I use to wish so badly that I had a dad who loved me like the lyrics in this song. I'm 30 years old now and I think the Lord Jesus Christ for being the father spiritually that I never had in the physical world. Ppl with dads that are there for them have something more precious than gold. :-)
I’m so sorry to hear about your story. 😞 But am glad you’ve still found a father in the Lord. Shoot, I’m not even a Christian anymore, but this song still brings me to tears every time I hear it and I’m lucky I’ll be able to dance with my father next month at my wedding. Even though you don’t have a father in the physical world, I know your lord is looking after you, protecting you, and loves you so soo much. 💕
My Dad and I danced to this song at my wedding 25 years ago. My dad is no longer with us, but I will forever hold the memory of us dancing to this song together in my heart. I love you Dad.
So beautiful. Daughters are so precious. Imagine feeling like this towards every last human being on this earth. How amazing the world would be. Love each other!! One day friends that's what heaven will be like, love everywhere and everything. I can not wait!!!
My daughter will turn 15 next week and she is a blessing to me. I know the good Lord sent me one of the most beautiful angels from heaven. She is my everything, my whole life and she has been a daddy's girl ever since the day she was born and I have loved her since I knew she was coming and this song it's for her. Autumn, Daddy loves you so very much. You will never know just how much of a positive impact you have made on my life growing up. As this song says, for all that I have done wrong I must have done something right to deserve a hug every morning and butter fly kisses everyday. Its truly an honored blessing to be your daddy. And i never regret 1 minute of it. The day you were born, when you wrapped your little hand around my finger while the nurses were cleaning you up, i right then and there learned what true love really is. It was you, my daughter. A beautiful angel sent from heaven with the love of the almighty loving powerful god. And you had my heart from hello. And no matter where you go or what you do in life, you will always have daddys heart. You will always be my heart. I love you then, i love you now, and i love you always to the moon and back and over again.
My daughter is the greatest love of my life, love her so much she is 28 now and moved far away years ago but she is doing well and that makes me so happy but I miss her I only get to see her once a year we talk on phone but I miss seeing her I miss her so
I remember the first time i heard this song in the nineties. My eyes filled with tears and my heart was moved. i knew exactly how he felt yet i had no little girls to give butterfly kisses to at the time. At that time i had my wonderful newborn son whom i cherish. Now in 2016 i have two daughters...one is a teen the other a tween and this song all brings tears to my eyes as i pray every day that I'm being the best father i can be to all of them. My boy'll turn 19 this year and he's off to college making his dreams a reality. I'm so proud of him. When i hug them i bug then line they are still babies. i close my eyes and remember them in that special way. This song right here brings tears to my eyes knowing that one day they'll be off making families of their own. butterfly kisses is a beautiful heartfelt song. Thank you Bob Carlisle. God bless you.
This is about family. I really love this song. It always made me cry whenever I hear this song. A father loving her daughter, through his wife. Brought her into this world. That is why family is so important. A father and a mother too.
This has been mine and my dad's song since I was a little girl as word-for-word this was our relationship and everything growing up. I surprised my dad with letting him know that this would be the song we would dance to (father-daughter dance) at my wedding in April 2023, and he broke down and cried. My dad means the world to me ❤️
This was my Daddy’s song to me and I was going to have him dance with me to it at my wedding in 2010, but he chose not to show because I have two fathers and wanted him and my Dad to walk me down together. He apologized but he will never get to walk my three younger sisters down the aisle because we are laying him to rest tomorrow.
The lyrics 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 Oh, but most of all, for 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 mamma A little more every day 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 gonna kiss you on the cheek this time" Oh 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 Oh like the wind, when 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, gave me Butterfly kisses, with her mama there Sticking little white 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" Oh with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right To deserve her love every 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
This song was a dedication to my Daddy at my wedding in 2001. I had a 6 year old ballerina, followed a teen ballerina and then an adult ballarina. Live butterflies were released at the end of the song. It was AMAZING. I'm no longer married to the guy but I still remember the tribute!!
I was thinking of this song and had to come listen...it makes me cry every time. I lost my daddy 11 days after I turned 13 and I will soon be 40. I miss him so much.
This song moves me to tears even now as I've matured to adult hood. Even at this age, I'm affected by my dad not being around growing up, it's not like he passed away, he's still alive up to this day.
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 Oh 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 mornin' And butterfly kisses at night Sweet 16 today She's lookin' like her mama a little more every day 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 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 gonna kiss you on the check this time Oh with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right To deserve her love every mornin' 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 thinkin' And I said I'm not sure I just feel like I'm loosin' my baby girl And she leaned over Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair Walk me down the isle daddy It's just about time Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy? Daddy's don't cry Oh with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right To deserve her love every mornin' And butterfly kisses I couldn't ask God for more than this is what love is I know I've got to let her go but I'll always remember Every hug in the mornin' and butterfly kisses Read more: Bob Carlisle - Butterfly Kisses Lyrics | MetroLyrics
My father danced with my sister to this song on her wedding day as the last song of the night . It was soooo beautiful . Now my father sadly has passed away but watching my sister dance with dad to this song just brings tears to everyone’s eyes now because dad is gone .
As a daughter,this song brings tears to my eyes,my dad used to play this for me every night before bed ya know before I was the age where you don't need a lullaby every night,and in may of 2025 I plan to dance with him during my daddy daughter dance at my wedding I'll be 23 by then,thank you so much for giving this song to the world,it's really sentimental
I danced with my dad to this song at my sweet 16.....Now in two weeks, I have the blessing and honor of dancing with him again at my wedding to this song... Cant listen without crying, its so beautiful.
My dad used to sing this to me in the car growing up, so I made this song our father daughter dance at my wedding. I'm still crying 😭 such a sweet song.❤️
I've got 3 daughters, 7,5 and 2. I rarely cry but cried like a baby last night when my wife randomly played this song while we were down stairs and I started thinking about them as they will grow up. My 2 oldest girls saw me tearing up and crawled in my lap and gave me butterfly kisses and hugged me. They said "daddy don't cry, we will always love you" 😭 the waterworks turned on full blast after that lol.
I grew up being distant from my dad. The very first time that I heard this song I cried because I always wanted to be "daddy's girl" . It didn't happen. I still love my dad. I know he has been through a lot too.
My Uncle Bill was such a wonderful soul, but to my cousin Krista he was everything.. Her Dad, my Uncle passed away Sept 14 2023. Plz send prayers for my cousin Krista n his wife Aunt Marta. My goodness our love for him is endless. See you on the otherside❤❤ I love you Uncle Bill
im not religious and im definitely not a dad, but i VIVIDLY remember sobbing into my dads chest while we danced at my second grade "father daughter dance" while this song played in the back... my dad and i never really had a fantastic relationship, i mean it wasn't horribly bad or anything, we just didn't get along i guess. im 18 now, i recently started college across the country, and i severely miss my father. I've cried every single time I've thought about him, and i cannot wait for winter break so i can see him. such a beautiful song... id kill to be in second grade again, hearing this song for the first time, as my dad and i danced.
My heart goes out to the girls who's dad was taken too soon and there dreams of there dad being there shattered by covid. I will forever be grateful I got to dance with my dad to this song on my wedding day over 6 years ago before he passed to Covid. So many shattered dreams.
After reading some of these comments, I am more thankful than ever for the wonderful man I am honored to call my father. Today, on his 60th birthday, I listen to this and I still cry my eyes out. There is nothing more pure and beautiful than the love between a father and daughter. If you know my dad you know light and love and peace. And he is my peace. He is my love. He is who led my to my spouse, because he showed me what a man is. I love you, Daddy.
TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN MY DAUGHTERS 32ND BIRTHDAY I LOST HER 6 YRS AGO. THIS WAS HER FAVORITE DADDY AND DAUGHTER SONG. HER NAME WAS DEANNA MARIE. DADDY LOVES YOU VERY MUCH AND CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!😇😇😇😇😇
This has been me and my daughters song since she was 4 years old when I met her and her beautiful mother. It always broke my heart that her bio dad never had anything to do with her and has no idea what he missed. I am the only father she has known and I will never take her for granted. She is 18 and grown up but she will always be my baby girl.
This song is the reason I have my 24 year old daughter. After hearing it in the late 90s, I just HAD to have a daughter. And after talking to my wife, we agreed to give it a try. We had twin sons in the 80s, but I wanted a daughter because of this song. And God blessed us with a daughter in 1999.
As the father of 2 beautiful daughters in their 20s, this one always gets me in the feels. I know the “ butterfly kisses” day will come for me one day. I just hope I’m strong enough to survive it.
I'm 37 and single, this song always makes me think about what I'm missing out on. I know there's still time for me but I would urge all those fathers out there to appreciate what they have, less they be like me and have not.
I sang this to my daughter Sarah when she was 5 and changed “daddy” to “ mommy” because I sinned and had her out of wedlock. Her father was never in the picture so for women who think intimacy with men doesn’t have any consequences please think again! My sin not only affected me but her and has had long lasting effects. But thank God He has forgiven me. Sarah is now 33 and she was the one who sent this clip to me so as Bob sings “ I must’ve done something right”! Thanks for the memories!!
Well thank you for not doing something else you couldn't have taken back. You literally have my admiration & respect for that🙏. I hope she paid you back 7x7 fold in her 33 yrs even if its just her I love yous to you. I hope you eventually found someone you could lean on so you wouldn't of had to do it all alone, not that you couldn't, just makes it somewhat easier.
My dad didnt get to see get married either... He was killed one month before my 11th birthday...i am turning 38 this year and i miss him every day... I was a daddys girl all the way... I need him now more then ever but i know hes with me in spirit.. And i know he will aleays be with me no matter what... I love you dad and miss you dearly... You and my boys watch over us till we can be together again....

I lost my wife in 2017, and I'm raising our two little girls on my own. They're 13 and 10 now. It kills me that their mother won't see how amazing they are. That they won't have their awesome and beautiful mother to guide them as women through life 😢. But, for all I've done wrong, they are my saving grace. They deserve the best of me, and God, how i love butterfly kisses and praying with them. ❤ The way they are growing into such amazing young ladies is what lets me know im not doing such a bad job. And oh yea, great song 😂
❤😢
Sorry for your loss, you’re doing a great job! Your daughters will look back and love everything you’ve done for them. ❤
Keep your head up my brother you got them girls I can’t even see mine I really screwed up believe me cherish ❤ them
I was taking cear of my sister in law for a long time she couldn't walk or talk n she was about 8years older then me but I looked at her just like she was my daughter n she loved her butter fly kisses to me
It takes a real loving man to step up and be both mom and dad. God bless you and your girls. Like the timeless song..What the World needs Now is love sweet .❤️
My precious little girl went home to the Lord last month. I wanted to sing this song at her wedding. I did not get the chance. Dads, treat your daughters as the gifts they are.
I don't have kids, don't know if I ever will, but I do agree with you. Never take your child for granted. Children are gifts, especially to those who appreciate them.
Ricardo D'Oliveira I’m so sorry for your loss. I know the feeling of loss. I lost 2 boys before their birth.
I am not a parent, but this song still touches me. It was Father's Day last weekend. I was thinking about friends who are fathers, and the mark that my own father left on me.
Sorry for your loss. I knew God love them, like how much you love them.
I know the feeling. I lost my Amber on 4/14/14. There is nothing I can say that makes the pain go away. The only advice I can give you is do not let her memory fade away. For my Amber, this is the only thing that keeps me going. The youtube videos help even though my wife does not understand.
I can't even listen to this song without crying. It gets me every single time three fold. My children are such a blessing.
my daughter passed a week ago this song will be played at her memorial along with buckets of tears from me daddy will always love you Melissa Fawn RIP BABY GIRL
My heart goes for you brother and the rest of your family
Sorry for your loss, I know the pain never goes away ❤️ I lost my daddy who was also my best friend when he was only 58 in 2022 and I been listening to this song since he passed away from cancer plus the Father's & Daughters song by Michael Bolton. 😢
My deepest condolences are with you and your family ❤❤❤
Sorry for your loss❤
so sorry for your loss, i loved my dad so much but sadly I am not his favourite daughter. I cry everytime wishing I had sm1 who loved me this way
IT's impossible to make it through this without crying.
Facts
yes especially if you have a daughter
yall dont wanna see my face right now lol. Love my little girl
Right
I don't even have a kid and this makes me cry. Even imagining the perspective is emotional, kudos to all of you with shared experiences.
my dad wanted to sing this at my wedding and now he is gone. now when I hear this song I just cry and cry. I wish I could talk to him one more time!
You can...if you believe in spirits and have an open heart to it.
You can always talk to him
God bless u ❤️
I'm the same
@Bonnie Johansen I hope you can get through it. I am a child and I love my daddy so much
My dad used to sing this to my sister and I. He passed away a few days ago and my sister put this on to write his obituary. Couldn't help writing something in honor of him. I love you dad, rest in peace 🕊️🕊️💕💕
Sorry for ur loss.
I'm sorry to hear about your dads passing. My dad also passed away in 93, and it still hurts to this day. 😢 again, my condolences to you and your family. 😢
He’s watching over you now 🕊️ 🕊️
The best song ever for a Father and Daughter.
May God bless you all!❤
This was my husband's and my daughter's song. RIP MELISSA ASHLEY.
(((our perfect babygirl))) our miracle, my forever birthday gift from heaven. Forever 23, forever loved, forever missed.
I miss my babygirl.
Butterfly kisses.❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ So sorry.
this song will live forever.....
So sorry for your loss. ❤️❤️
Butterfly kisses to Melissa ❤
Jimminey.... SO sad for your loss.
I told my dad when I first heard this song that I would do my father daughter dance with him at my wedding. Well 8 months ago I finally got the chance. :D
God bless u...i didnt have a chance with my mom.
@@yusriabdulrazak1894 😭😭 I'm so sorry for you!!
I think about doing that when my daughter gets married, but I'd never be able to stop crying
@@simon4043 Doesnt matter!! Do it
Same girl same just did mine Feb 8th!
My father took his life in 2019 this was the song he was supposed to walk me down the aisle to now my grandpa (his dad) is going to in a little over month ❤️😢❤️
This song was a tearjerker before… now I have my one and only 4 year old daughter, couldn’t even make it through the song. What a heart wrenching song
I agree, my little girl will be going off to college next year. I can't get through this song without ugly crying. Lol
Me the same!! Aso the 4 year old daughter! I heard this song after years and years in the car on my way to get her from school today and walked towards the schoolyard with teared up eyes. What a painful, horrifying song 🙈.
Daughters are very special I only have one but how God has blessed us with her.She works as a radiologist therapist in a cancer center alot of her patients call her there angel.I know she is an angel to us.Thank you God for her.
I feel there man
This song brings to mind a little nine year old orphan girl who came into my life back in 1971. My very first words to her were to tell her that mother had died and gone to heaven. At that time I had no interest in children or babies but somehow we developed a love for each other which grew stronger over the years . i remember there were times when she would hug me and say I wish you were my real dad. As time passed she grew up and fell in love with a truly wonderful man, she asked me to give her hand in marriage which I did, but like all dads I cried to have to let her go. Twenty five years of happy marriage passed but in 2015 after a 12 year battle with cancer she finally lost her battle. Again I cried having to let her go a second time and today is the seventh anniversary of her passing. I miss her very much and always will, but I still give thanks to LORD JESUS for the 51 years that he gave us together. She was and will always be my little girl.
god bless you man :_)
Aww
May God give you comfort every day and every night when it’s tough.
💜💜Wow this almost made me cry💜💜
Massive respect to u mate
I NEVER GET THRU THIS SONG WITHOUT SOME TEARS FALLING FROM EYES.

I asked my workmates to listen and both of them cried. They hated me😂😂😂

Marcus Reeves i first listened to this song when I was 15 I guess and i never get tired of listening to it. But this makes me miss my dad more😥 Now, I listened to it again just on time for the Father’s Day! Happy Father’s Day to you if you are a father. Bless you and your family
im only 14 and i love this song so much and i hope my daddy will be still there for my wedding
What does she has to do with this song. The is expressing how much a father loves his daughter. All more the need for you to have your dad
I want my daddy back 😭
Im almost 14.. I have been adopted since I was 4 yrs old, I dont want my adoptive dad to walk me down the isle, I want my biological dad to... I have not had contact w/ him in yrs...
If it was not for the fact that he gave me up, I wouldn't be here..
Any advice?
I'm 13 too and I feel the same way
@Martyna Klajna Same.
This was my song for the father daughter dance at my wedding 15 years ago. My father passed away 3 days ago and I will cherish this song forever. I love you Daddy. 😪💔💙❤
❤️🙏🏽🕊️
Brings a tear to my eye every time, especially because my wife grew up without a dad, and now more so that I have a daughter of my own. A truly beautiful song
My heart breaks for all of you girls who don't have a "daddy" to walk you down the isle. God bless you.
thank you
Thank you :-(
thanks
thank you. you actually wrote this comment the day before my father's passing. He will not be with me physically on my wedding day, but he will be with me in spirit.
thank you. I lost my daddy when I was 12 years old
The sweetest song a father can write to his daughter
EVERYDAY I THANK GOD THAT I WAS RAISED BY A PURE HEARTED,VIRTUOUS, AND HONORABLE MAN....WHO TRULY WAS THE MAN WHO STEPPED UP AND BROUGHT ME UP RIGHT....THOUGH I DIDN'T COME FROM HIS LOINS.....INSTEAD....FROM HIS HEART...AND GREAT WISDOM; THE HONORABLE MISTER WALTER LAMAR GREEN....AND I THANK YOU OVER A BILLION TIMES FOLD FOR YOU AND YOUR BELOVED WIFE CALLIE LEE GREEN FOR SAVING MY LIFE 50 YEARS AGO IN LATE AUGUST 1972 AT THE AGE OF 7 & 1/2 YEARS OF AGE! ❤❤🔥💝💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✌
I didn’t have my dad when I was growing up, so seeing other people have their fathers is always touching to me. This song always warms my heart, Enjoy your dad’s ❤❤❤
This is mine and my dad’s song. I can’t imagine being without him. My heart goes out to all of the little girls that never got to dance with their dad.
I loss my dad 25yrs ago and it still hurts so much
I danced to this, with my dad, at my wedding♥️. He passed away a month later🥺 I will never forget that moment with him. It's been 24yrs now😞 8 kids later and my oldest daughters danced to this with their dad.
@@jenniferbarnes1614 I’m so sorry to hear that. Don’t forget that moment. No matter what. That’s something you want to keep close to your heart forever❤️
@@barbaralemay30 I’m sorry to hear that. You will see him again. Don’t worry, I’m sure he loves and misses you so very much❤️
🤩🙏🤗💝
This tune kills me everytime I hear it. Being a dad of two little girls ... I fight back tears every time. Great job Bob .. this composition will remain relevant forever.
same it's hard to let them go
Got 2 girls too and the thought that some day I gotta let go breaks my heart everyday... 😔
Anil Veeraraj yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have 8 wonderful daughters. 4 married 4 more to go. Cry every time this song
I hear this song
God took my dad home today . He used to play this song for me when I was little. I wish he could be here to see me turn 15 in a week, to see me start high school, to see me drive, to see my prom, to graduate, to send me off to collage, to give me away, to become a grandpa, and so much more. I luv u forever daddy.
He's watching his Lil angel 😇
He is in your heart and your head watching over you and giving you "butterfly kisses."
So sorry, Ruth!!
He will be there...Always.
He's looking over you and he is proud.. keep being you ❤
This song is timeless. This was the song that we danced to after I gave her away. Almost brought me to tears. Thanking God that I was there for this moment
Lies again? Serie A Leader Burger King
My Daddy always tells me: "Even after I walk you down the aisle, you will still be my little girl. I will NEVER 'give you away'" and I love that. Someone I can rely on no matter WHAT
That is beautiful wish ppl told that more.
You are so lucky to have a father like him. I wish I had a loving father like yours.
@@gsiya4023 . Pp
Exactly what I told my daughter. She is still my baby girl even though she's now 30 with a 9 month old angel. Her little girl already has me wrapped around her little fingers.
Amen.. we never give our daughters away...
Who is listening to this amazing song in 2020? ❤️ 😍
Yayy we all are here in 2021. 😊💕
Here🤗
Looking at the pictures of Kobe Bryant and his daughter, all I could hear was this song.
I am ❤️ and seriously considering using this song in my Wedding this August ❤️
@@annysiatanner7360 Congratulations! 😊
Me
My father memorized this whole song and would sing it to me every night before bed. I'm now 15 and we no longer do things like that. My father is sick and most likely won't be at me wedding, so every time I here this song I cry. It makes me think I won't be able to have a daddy daughter dance at my wedding. As I kid I always dream of my dad and me dancing to this song at my wedding but as I grow and see how sick he is I cry because it might not happen. Thank the Lord for this song and thank the Lord for showing me father this song so he could memorize it and give a memory I will forever hold on to.
I'm super sorry, sweetheart. Just try to focus on the good memories.
He loves you, but it may just be getting to his "time." We all have to go. It is really hard, especially at your age. I'm a stranger, but I'm thinking of you. You will be ok. It is just going to take awhile. If you believe in God, you will feel that your Dad is well taken care of, and not to worry. Your heart will be trashed though. Hang in there, I'm thinking of you....
Just know that you can dream of him and doing that with him, though, even when he eventually passes away. Like... you can learn to LUCID DREAM; and get to meet up with him again. He'll always be in your heart little one.
If your father is up for it have him record himself singing it and play it at your wedding. It will mean so much to you. And to him
Amen!! Our Father in Heaven loves us Sooo much! I pray im agreement with you for healing for your dad in Jesus name!! 🙏❤
Good bless you and your father ❤
Four years ago, I danced with my dad to this song at my sweet 16. This past Friday, I danced to it again with him at my wedding. I love you, dad. I’m so thankful for you. ❤️
So so happy for you ty for sharing with us yay n congratulations 🎊 💍💗💐
You're so lucky❤
Bruh the way I would have SOBBED watching any father and daughter dancing to this
Impossible to watch without crying.
So true
I cry when I hear this song, my dad is my best friend and I can't wait to dance this song with him on my wedding some day.

Feel the same!
Did it happen yet? :D
Same.

I have always loved butterflies for over 70years
My beautiful dad called me
His special butterfly
Butterfly Kisses will be in

Thankyou xxxooo
The first time that I heard this song is when my youngest daughter was deployed in the army. And when she finally came home, I played this beautiful song for her
My daughter and I danced to this during the father daughter dance at her wedding last night. What a beautiful heart touching song. Thank you Bob for writing it. God bless you.
I did the same with my daughter as well. What an emotional trigger Bob wrote huh? Gets me everytime!
Amazing! I can’t wait to walk my 4 girls down.

I danced with my daughter to this song on her wedding night November 2020, I had planned dancing with her to this song since she was a baby. What an emotional and amazing night...
Gay
Last week married my daughter off to this song, and I sang it to her as we did our dance, we both where in tears at the end of it, a very true and amazing song.
Thank you Bob for this masterpiece.
I love this song so much! Loved it as a young woman and now as a mother, I wish that there was a version for moms and daughters.
I might not know you but my dream is singing. As soon as I read your comment, I immediately started writing another version of this song for you. You will get your song. I promise. I’m in middle school so I may not know the feeling of being a mother but I can imagine. You’re gonna get your song. I’ll let you know when it’s out. Have a great day! ❤
I’ve always liked “in my daughter’s eyes,” by Martina McBride. It’s not butterfly kisses but it’s a great mother daughter song
I never had a father's love, but the song is still touching. Timeless piece.
It rly is
Lies again? Barcelona Kansas Bet Clic
I agree.
God loves you honey
Same here but I raised 2 girls alone
My daddy used to sing this to me when I was younger.
He always thought he didnt deserve me.
My daddy passed away 7 months ago.
I never got to say goodbye.
I really wanted him to be here.
For my 16th birthday.
For my prom.
For my wedding.
For my first baby.
But my daddy is in a better place, his pain is now gone.
May you rest in peace daddy.
I love you 💕
Edit: just lost my uncle about 3 days ago :/
Edit: I'm turning 16 in 8 days, I'm not sure I'm ready to do it without my dad
my dad always thinks the same he didn't deserve me but I didn't deserve him..
I'm so sorry. I'm in the same situation now--my dad died from Covid on 2/13 and I didn't get to say goodbye.
Hi
I'm so sorry I know how you feel when your daddy's are gone 💔
@@dejablu same..
This was my dad's favorite song to sing to my two sisters. This was the song he and my older sister danced to at her wedding.
He passed away three months ago, and this song tears me a new one each time. Such a beautiful song, admired by such a beautiful man. I love and miss you, Daddy.
im sorry for your loss my friend. god bless
Cliff Yarbrough Thank you so much, I really really appreciate it!
HOLLY OYLER Thank you very much, Holly!! :)
Your dad sounds like he was a wonderful man :)
reddread07 He truly was. More than you know! Heck, more than I knew. When I heard all of the stories in his work life and years before he had me... wow, such a great person!
I can never make it through this song without crying.
To my daddy I love you and miss you. I am doing everything to bring you back home. In jesus name amen.
There is no grather sensation than hearing her voice yelling "Daddy, here comes my Daddy" from your doughter, and watch her running to you. Even when I miss that, I have it inside my heart and it will never go. All the sadnes of the world can't turn that little light off.
That feeling never goes away
I know what you mean. My daughter is almost 3 and my heart almost bursts when I her how her face lights up when I pick her up from school. Nothing like it.
My father died a few days ago. Sixteen years ago he danced to this song at my wedding reception. xoxoxo Miss you daddy.
+Panda42 I'm so sorry
+Panda42 I feel so bad I bet he loved you so much.
+Makenna Awesome Yes he did. He was a great father. Always there for me when I needed him. Don't feel bad. He's in a better place now and no longer in pain.
+Panda42 i'm turning 60 this june. oh how i wish to dance with my first born on her wedding day, but sad to say, it all will forever remain a wish.
+yong jiang Gate I'm sorry Yong.
This is one of the songs played at my daughter's funeral years ago. I miss her everyday and sometimes wonder what she would've looked like today as she would've been 21 yo this past October. I made that little angel a promise two weeks before she left this earth to be with Jesus that I broke and it still sometimes makes me cry her daddy I miss him but I can't tell him that because of circumstances that occured between us . Every now and then the night that led to her passing plays out and if I were honest my question for her daddy would be why? God knows and I know and yet even with all that I still love that man . Lord protect me from harm as I post this in Jesus name Amen
What happened
Almost a year since we lost my dad unpectedly and this song still gets to me. I love it. I was the only girl. RIP Dad!! 05-29/55-09/22/21
😭😭😭😭😭
My Father refused to go to my church wedding and walk me down the aisle . It hurt but My Heavenly Father walks with me daily. I played this song at my daughter's wedding, it's a beautiful song. Been married 47 years God has blessed me.
This is wonderful. God bless
After 47 years you still carrying thst grudge. How about you try understanding from your father's perspective as to why he didn't si that you can move on.
Same here been married 29years this coming Monday been happy ever since God is good
I do love my dad though and he did dedicate this song to me I love this song it's so special to me
Bob, you did do something right. You wrote a classic.
👍
Still makes me cry every time...
In the leaving years
It makes me cry too, I'm a big softy like my daddy and my granda.
And he wrote it for HIS daughter.
My parents separated when I was 4 but my dad and I have always had this strong bond which only grew stronger as years passed. I’m turning 30 in 2 months and I’m thankful that I have my dad, I love him so much! To him I’ll always be his little girl no matter what even if I have 4 younger siblings now. Cheers to all the dad’s out there! Happy Father’s Day!
This song has always been a song for my dad and I. This is the first time listening to it since he passed away on the 21st of this month. Thankful that I can listen to it and remember all the happy moments we shared over the years.
The only father I ever knew died 22 days before my 13th birthday, and I never knew my biological father. I turned 31 last week, and I still miss my dad every day. It hurts knowing he won't physically be there when I graduate from college next spring, nor will my mom, as she joined him eight years ago. They are, however, safe in my memories.
It's admirable for you to love the man who raised you even though he wasn't your biological father. I have some friends in the same position. It's always important to know that ones who raise us, protect us and love us are the people we call Mom and Dad, even if they aren't our biological parents.
raerae1985 they see you.... They're PROUD OF YOU
They are watching from above!!!
Girl you need a hug!
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. It always reminds me how fast my daughter is growing up, and I can't stop it :( Treasure each moment with your little girls, dads...they grow up sooo quickly.
I wish I didn't have to grow up
Just way way too fast... 💯💯💯
Last week my oldest daughter gave me an assignment for her upcoming wedding (August 2022)... To select a song for the father / daughter dance at her wedding reception. She doesn't know that I have been planning this song since the month before she was born! I believe this song was released in June of 1995, while she (my first child) was preparing to enter the world just one month later! I have memories of driving in my car listening to this song with tears flooding down my face. All of this even before I met her! Now, as I listen to "Butterfly Kisses", I'm standing alone crying like a baby, and I know there is no way I could get through this song during our dance.
Although life has not followed MY original plan, I have no idea why I've been blessed with TWO of the most wonderful daughters any parent could dream of
My youngest daughter was married on New Year's Day this year, and for reasons that are still unclear to me, she decided 3 years ago to take her stepfather's last name. I certainly have no bad feelings towards my daughter or her stepfather; and my heart broke for both of my daughters when they suffered the loss of their stepfather to cancer in February. I would gladly take every bit of their pain; that they might be spared. As long as both daughters are happy and healthy, everything else is background noise. As all parents discover just moments after meeting their newborn child, there is nothing in the world that can diminish a Father's Love for his children (as well, the special bond between father and daughter!) May my girls experience even a fraction of the joy that has filled my heart ❤️
But for now, the work starts as I attempt to desensitize myself to the flood of emotions that overtake me while listening to this song - 3 months is not long enough - I think I better have a backup song!
Me and my daughter decided to play this song at the Father and Daughter dance for her wedding ! It came out when she was fifteen. And I would sing it to her her going to church. Thank You Mr. Carlisle. It was Great ! 👍 😭
P.S. I was AMAZED at the girls that came up and said how much they knew and loved this song (and we picked it) because that's what they wanted with their Daddy's !
😊
I have three adult daughters. When they were little, one of the older women in my office told me, "wait until they become teenagers. They will make your life hell." I am happy to say that prophecy never came true. It would be an understatement to say the girls have been a blessing. Are my girls perfect? Of course not. Nobody is. But my relationship with them is pure gold.
Your blessed sir with your daughters....enjoy
I haven't received love from my father when I was a child, so every time I listened to this song I couldn't help but cry, I wish God would let me find someone who truly love and protect me,never let me go, love me unconditionaly like a father's love for a daughter🥺
Trân Truong ngọc Trust me...God gotcha. Matter fact, he was always there from the beginning. Just speak to him...he’ll listen.
Father God never will leave you alone or unloved.
Your are not alone not everyone gets that but your never alone
You always are by the most high ❤️
Butterflie kisses religious version
i just can't help crying everytime i hear this song especially the part when she'll changed her name today. i love my daughter so much and she's been a wonderful blessing to our family. from the first time i held her and saw her smile, till the time when i was teaching her to ride a bike and have our lil father and daughter date on a nearby ice cream parlor. she would always tell me that she loves me so much and she will always be there for me. i guess i'm just scared that i won't be his number one anymore and that i wouldn't be enough for my precious daughter. the scary feeling that you're no longer needed. geez, don't grow up too fast kiddo. we still have tons of memories to build. until then i guess i just have to prepare my feelings till the day that i'll walk you to the aisle. i trust that God has a special plan for you just don't hurry things up, ok? :) i love you so much baby and always keep in mind that no matter what happens you will always have a big place in my heart.. i love you!!!
I have been married for 8yrs, my dad walked me down the aisle. He is still the best dad ever, no one can ever take his position. Dont be scared you will always be her number one.
LOVE THIS SONG THANK YOU ABBA FOR GIVING ME THEM 😍🦋🦋
I sang this song at my daughter's wedding.
It was very difficult to do at that moment, but it turned into a near-out-of-body-experience.
All went well, and she's been married quite a few years, but I still think of how it felt at that moment.
My daddy sang this to me. I'm 51 and wish he could sing it again to me
This was the song my sister and Dad danced to at her wedding. You know it's a great song when the photographer stops taking pics because she is crying too hard to continue! Bless all the brides and Dads who dance to this!
My little girl is due in a couple of months. I've always loved this song but now it holds a new meaning, I cant wait to hear " daddy's home " it's amazing how much love one can have for someone who isn't even born yet. I tear up just thinking about it.
I have no idea how I'm going to dance to this song with my Daddy on my wedding day, but I will. 🧡
Watching him and my sister dance to it on her wedding day brought me to tears too, especially since he didn't know she was going to have a father/daughter dance. He cried and so did I and so did others. 🧡
One of the most beautiful songs ever , about a precious dad and daughter relationship. The lyrics are so powerful, it always makes me cry.
I remember listening to this song when I was much younger. I use to wish so badly that I had a dad who loved me like the lyrics in this song. I'm 30 years old now and I think the Lord Jesus Christ for being the father spiritually that I never had in the physical world. Ppl with dads that are there for them have something more precious than gold. :-)
I’m so sorry to hear about your story. 😞 But am glad you’ve still found a father in the Lord. Shoot, I’m not even a Christian anymore, but this song still brings me to tears every time I hear it and I’m lucky I’ll be able to dance with my father next month at my wedding. Even though you don’t have a father in the physical world, I know your lord is looking after you, protecting you, and loves you so soo much. 💕
Some heartaches never go away......
My Dad and I danced to this song at my wedding 25 years ago. My dad is no longer with us, but I will forever hold the memory of us dancing to this song together in my heart. I love you Dad.
So beautiful. Daughters are so precious. Imagine feeling like this towards every last human being on this earth. How amazing the world would be. Love each other!! One day friends that's what heaven will be like, love everywhere and everything. I can not wait!!!
My daughter will turn 15 next week and she is a blessing to me. I know the good Lord sent me one of the most beautiful angels from heaven. She is my everything, my whole life and she has been a daddy's girl ever since the day she was born and I have loved her since I knew she was coming and this song it's for her. Autumn, Daddy loves you so very much. You will never know just how much of a positive impact you have made on my life growing up. As this song says, for all that I have done wrong I must have done something right to deserve a hug every morning and butter fly kisses everyday. Its truly an honored blessing to be your daddy. And i never regret 1 minute of it. The day you were born, when you wrapped your little hand around my finger while the nurses were cleaning you up, i right then and there learned what true love really is. It was you, my daughter. A beautiful angel sent from heaven with the love of the almighty loving powerful god. And you had my heart from hello. And no matter where you go or what you do in life, you will always have daddys heart. You will always be my heart. I love you then, i love you now, and i love you always to the moon and back and over again.
My daddy threw me across the operating room when I was born and named me Miserable Scumfuck.
J Williams ❤️
My daughter is 15 and is my whole world
My daughter is the greatest love of my life, love her so much she is 28 now and moved far away years ago but she is doing well and that makes me so happy but I miss her I only get to see her once a year we talk on phone but I miss seeing her I miss her so
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember the first time i heard this song in the nineties. My eyes filled with tears and my heart was moved. i knew exactly how he felt yet i had no little girls to give butterfly kisses to at the time. At that time i had my wonderful newborn son whom i cherish. Now in 2016 i have two daughters...one is a teen the other a tween and this song all brings tears to my eyes as i pray every day that I'm being the best father i can be to all of them. My boy'll turn 19 this year and he's off to college making his dreams a reality. I'm so proud of him. When i hug them i bug then line they are still babies. i close my eyes and remember them in that special way. This song right here brings tears to my eyes knowing that one day they'll be off making families of their own. butterfly kisses is a beautiful heartfelt song. Thank you Bob Carlisle. God bless you.
This is about family. I really love this song. It always made me cry whenever I hear this song. A father loving her daughter, through his wife. Brought her into this world. That is why family is so important. A father and a mother too.
This has been mine and my dad's song since I was a little girl as word-for-word this was our relationship and everything growing up. I surprised my dad with letting him know that this would be the song we would dance to (father-daughter dance) at my wedding in April 2023, and he broke down and cried. My dad means the world to me ❤️
My daughter and I danced to this when she got married. She maybe 50 years old now but still Dads little girl. I love her so much.
This was my Daddy’s song to me and I was going to have him dance with me to it at my wedding in 2010, but he chose not to show because I have two fathers and wanted him and my Dad to walk me down together. He apologized but he will never get to walk my three younger sisters down the aisle because we are laying him to rest tomorrow.
so precious, thank you for sharing this
I Love Bob's Music.,In the Hands of Jesus is my fave second only to this one. I am 60 yrs old and this song makes me cry every time I hear it.
@@bobstruyk1449 She will always be Daddy's Girl,. I've been there
The lyrics
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
Oh, but most of all, for
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 mamma
A little more every day
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 gonna kiss you on the cheek this time"
Oh 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
Oh like the wind, when 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, gave me
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
Sticking little white 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"
Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every 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
This song was a dedication to my Daddy at my wedding in 2001. I had a 6 year old ballerina, followed a teen ballerina and then an adult ballarina. Live butterflies were released at the end of the song. It was AMAZING. I'm no longer married to the guy but I still remember the tribute!!
I am sorry your marriage ended.
@@nnedi7789 Thank you... but it was for the best.
I was thinking of this song and had to come listen...it makes me cry every time. I lost my daddy 11 days after I turned 13 and I will soon be 40. I miss him so much.
This song moves me to tears even now as I've matured to adult hood. Even at this age, I'm affected by my dad not being around growing up, it's not like he passed away, he's still alive up to this day.
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
Oh 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 mornin'
And butterfly kisses at night
Sweet 16 today
She's lookin' like her mama a little more every day
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
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 gonna kiss you on the check this time
Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every mornin'
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 thinkin'
And I said I'm not sure
I just feel like I'm loosin' my baby girl
And she leaned over
Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk me down the isle daddy
It's just about time
Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?
Daddy's don't cry
Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every mornin'
And butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more than this is what love is
I know I've got to let her go but I'll always remember
Every hug in the mornin' and butterfly kisses

I get such a lump in my throat when I hear this song.
Hello lynda how are you doing today, This is one of my favourite since I heard is song.
My father danced with my sister to this song on her wedding day as the last song of the night . It was soooo beautiful . Now my father sadly has passed away but watching my sister dance with dad to this song just brings tears to everyone’s eyes now because dad is gone .
As a daughter,this song brings tears to my eyes,my dad used to play this for me every night before bed ya know before I was the age where you don't need a lullaby every night,and in may of 2025 I plan to dance with him during my daddy daughter dance at my wedding I'll be 23 by then,thank you so much for giving this song to the world,it's really sentimental
I danced with my dad to this song at my sweet 16.....Now in two weeks, I have the blessing and honor of dancing with him again at my wedding to this song... Cant listen without crying, its so beautiful.
I like this song so mutch,it breaks always my heart and bring tears in to my eyes. ( i am a grand pa 66 years old, from Holland.
Leven is mooi, juist op de moelijke en mooie momenten.
Beautiful 💯 what a,tribute to beautiful Daughters 😍 tysm for this beautiful song 🎵 ❤️ 💖 💕
My dad used to sing this to me in the car growing up, so I made this song our father daughter dance at my wedding. I'm still crying 😭 such a sweet song.❤️
I've got 3 daughters, 7,5 and 2.
I rarely cry but cried like a baby last night when my wife randomly played this song while we were down stairs and I started thinking about them as they will grow up. My 2 oldest girls saw me tearing up and crawled in my lap and gave me butterfly kisses and hugged me. They said "daddy don't cry, we will always love you" 😭 the waterworks turned on full blast after that lol.
You are blessed my brother
I grew up being distant from my dad. The very first time that I heard this song I cried because I always wanted to be "daddy's girl" . It didn't happen. I still love my dad. I know he has been through a lot too.
Daddy if we listen to this I love you I think
My Uncle Bill was such a wonderful soul, but to my cousin Krista he was everything.. Her Dad, my Uncle passed away Sept 14 2023. Plz send prayers for my cousin Krista n his wife Aunt Marta. My goodness our love for him is endless. See you on the otherside❤❤ I love you Uncle Bill
Sending prayers ❤❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏💖💖
im not religious and im definitely not a dad, but i VIVIDLY remember sobbing into my dads chest while we danced at my second grade "father daughter dance" while this song played in the back...
my dad and i never really had a fantastic relationship, i mean it wasn't horribly bad or anything, we just didn't get along i guess.
im 18 now, i recently started college across the country, and i severely miss my father. I've cried every single time I've thought about him, and i cannot wait for winter break so i can see him. such a beautiful song... id kill to be in second grade again, hearing this song for the first time, as my dad and i danced.
My heart goes out to the girls who's dad was taken too soon and there dreams of there dad being there shattered by covid. I will forever be grateful I got to dance with my dad to this song on my wedding day over 6 years ago before he passed to Covid. So many shattered dreams.
After reading some of these comments, I am more thankful than ever for the wonderful man I am honored to call my father. Today, on his 60th birthday, I listen to this and I still cry my eyes out. There is nothing more pure and beautiful than the love between a father and daughter. If you know my dad you know light and love and peace. And he is my peace. He is my love. He is who led my to my spouse, because he showed me what a man is. I love you, Daddy.
Hello Ali how are you doing today, This is one of my favourite since I heard is song.
This song is the most beatifully increadible tear-jerker that I have ever heard! Thank you Bob! Wonderful creation!!!😅
TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN MY DAUGHTERS 32ND BIRTHDAY I LOST HER 6 YRS AGO. THIS WAS HER FAVORITE DADDY AND DAUGHTER SONG. HER NAME WAS DEANNA MARIE. DADDY LOVES YOU VERY MUCH AND CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!😇😇😇😇😇
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m her age now. How did she pass away?
She was murdered
Aww so sweet
@@eddiewingender8022😢😢😢
I remember when this came out. Some guy said it was unmanly to cry about this as a man. SO MANY FATHERS set him straight, tears streaming.
it gives me tears everytime I hear this song..
Me right now
Yes, and still in 2018
This has been me and my daughters song since she was 4 years old when I met her and her beautiful mother. It always broke my heart that her bio dad never had anything to do with her and has no idea what he missed. I am the only father she has known and I will never take her for granted. She is 18 and grown up but she will always be my baby girl.
This song is the reason I have my 24 year old daughter. After hearing it in the late 90s, I just HAD to have a daughter. And after talking to my wife, we agreed to give it a try. We had twin sons in the 80s, but I wanted a daughter because of this song. And God blessed us with a daughter in 1999.
As the father of 2 beautiful daughters in their 20s, this one always gets me in the feels. I know the “ butterfly kisses” day will come for me one day. I just hope I’m strong enough to survive it.
I'm 37 and single, this song always makes me think about what I'm missing out on. I know there's still time for me but I would urge all those fathers out there to appreciate what they have, less they be like me and have not.
God still bless you
@@joypeaceandhappiness1501 and may God bless you too my friend.
@@mrmjday you ain't missing anything except debt and headaches, lol
2023 and I'm still loving this song. Again, I'll never have children to feel this way about, but I so hope my friends and family feel this song. ❤❤❤
Hey Rudolph. Never is a strong word considering you are still alive. ❤
Hi
I sang this to my daughter Sarah when she was 5 and changed “daddy” to “ mommy” because I sinned and had her out of wedlock. Her father was never in the picture so for women who think intimacy with men doesn’t have any consequences please think again! My sin not only affected me but her and has had long lasting effects. But thank God He has forgiven me. Sarah is now 33 and she was the one who sent this clip to me so as Bob sings “ I must’ve done something right”! Thanks for the memories!!
Well thank you for not doing something else you couldn't have taken back. You literally have my admiration & respect for that🙏. I hope she paid you back 7x7 fold in her 33 yrs even if its just her I love yous to you. I hope you eventually found someone you could lean on so you wouldn't of had to do it all alone, not that you couldn't, just makes it somewhat easier.
@@fargoentertaining6145 Thank You for those encouraging words! I did eventually marry but not until 2015. My husband told her you can call me dad♥️
@gregnormal5 yes I am a fan
@gregnormal5 I am from Utah but originally from NY
I'll never get the chance to dance with my dad with such beautiful song, may he rest in peace 😰
My dad didnt get to see get married either... He was killed one month before my 11th birthday...i am turning 38 this year and i miss him every day... I was a daddys girl all the way... I need him now more then ever but i know hes with me in spirit.. And i know he will aleays be with me no matter what... I love you dad and miss you dearly... You and my boys watch over us till we can be together again....
I cry when i hear this song 😭😭😭... thank God she's only 3 years old now....but it's going really fast to this moment i give her away...
From a daughter to a father, she misses you even more. ❤️
My dad and I listened to this growing up. Mostly because of my mom but we danced to this at my wedding and it was the best moment of my life ❤
