Dedicated to Fathers and Fathers to be!

Yes, i am a Daddy’s Girl and i will always be. This is for all the Dad’s from there little girls. We Love you.

Bob Carlisle
“Butterfly Kisses”


Original on YouTube.com

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.

For the Father’s from their Sons

RODNEY ATKINS
“Watching You”


Original on YouTube.com

Driving through town just my boy and me
With a happy meal in his booster seat
Knowing that he couldn’t have the toy
Till his nuggets were gone
Green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my breaks and mumbled under my breath
As fries went a flying and his orange drink covered his lap
Well then my four year old said a four letter word
That started with “s” and I was concerned
So I said son now where did you learn to talk like that

[Chorus one]

He said I’ve been watching you dad, ain’t that cool
I’m your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
Yeah we’re just alike, hey ain’t we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So I’ve been watching you

We got back home and I went to the barn
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
Said lord please help me help my stupid self
Then this side of bedtime later that night
Turning on my son’s scooby doo nightlight
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
And spoke to god like he was talking to a friend
And I said son where’d you learn to pray like that

[Chorus two]

He said I’ve been watching you dad, ain’t that cool
I’m your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
We like fixing things and holding mama’s hand
Yeah we’re just alike, hey ain’t we dad
I wanna do everything you do
So I’ve been watching you

[Bridge]

With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
Said my little bear is growing up
He said but when I’m big I’ll still know what to do

[Chorus three]

Cause I’ve been watching you dad, ain’t that cool
I’m your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
Then I’ll be as strong as you and superman
We’ll be just alike, hey won’t we dad
When I can do everything you do
Cause I’ve been watching you

my dad is always there for me. when most daughters can talk about their broken hearts with moms, in my case i can easily open it up with my dad. he is a great singer, a musician, a writer and the best daddy there is. he does not judge me and listening is his expertise! :o)

aaawww lilies. It’s nice to finally hear something nice about someone’s parents. Everywhere on this website people talk about how parent(s) abuse them.
My daddy is the greatest too.

omg I can’t believe you put Butterfly Kisses up there! My best friend’s dad wrote that for her and her sister. Awwww that brings back some amazing memories. Thank you for posting that, you just made my night. I remember when he was writing it and would sing it for us and we would all just cry. Oh man. I’m in tears now. That song can bring out the daddy’s girl in anybody.

Another added song

George Strait
“The best day”

We loaded up my old stationwagon
With a tent a coleman and sleepin’ bags
Some fishin’ poles a cooler of cokes
Three days before we had to be back

When you’re seven you’re in seventh heaven
When you’re going campin’ in the wild outdoors
As we turned off on that old dirt road
He looked at me and swore…

(chorus)

Dad, this could be the best day of my life
I’ve been dreamin’ day and night about the fun we’ll have
Just me and you doing what I’ve always wanted to
I’m the luckiest boy alive this is the best day of my life.

His fifteenth birthday rolled around
Classic cars were his thing
When I pulled in the drive with that old Vette
I thought that boy would go insane
When you’re in your teens
Your dreams revolve around four spinnin’ wheels
We worked nights on end till it was new again
And as he sat behind the wheel…

(repeat chorus)

Standin’ in a little room in back of the church with our tux’s on
Lookin’ at him I say, I can’t believe son that you’re grown…

(chorus)

He said Dad, this could be the best day of my life
I’ve been dreamin’ day and night of being like you
Now it’s me and her watchin’ you and Mom I’ve learned
I’m the luckiest man alive, this is the best day of my life
I’m the luckiest man alive, this is the best day of my life.

(crying) I love my Daddy and I am going to miss him when I go to America. Thank you Heather. He is the greatest. He used to treat us all great and always used to feed my friends when they were round. Like a surogate-Daddy. He even took me to family planning when I needed to get on the pill (totally unmanly but thats my Daddy - willing to look stupid for his girls) used to sign Operatic music every Sunday morning in the kitchen. Heck how I miss that - to wake up and hear him and join in. For the political debates (even thou I never really understood them) for the sciences and the star gazing. I love my Daddy so very very much (crying like baby now)

Cheers to our Daddies *raises a glass of cider … very good cries … teeheehee he always used to cry to Railway Children when the Dad came home and they meet on the train station - we always used to pass the tissues giggling. He would quote from Month Pythons Flying Circus things like ‘run away run away’ and ‘now for some thing completely different’ teeheehee - He would do kareoke with us as well in the pub. He has put up with so much from my Mother. He is amazing.
