Stand, with all my might and still I seem to fall I try to walk before
I even crawl ohh it seems im like a child in me again a helpless heart
a broken man.
Strength, is something that's so very hard to find but still I know the
truth it must be blind so I sacrifice my heart to god in prayer lay my
weakness down and I'll find you there.
I can stand tall
On my knees, I can see forever, on my knees, I can face it all,
I feel like I can climb a mountain cause on my knees the worlds a
little smaller and I stand taller on my knees.
See a man in a garden long ago he went along as the weight of sins
unseen and lies unknown came to rest upon his weary shoulders he
knew my name he took my pain
so I can stand tall
On my knees I can see forever on my knees I can face it all
I feel like I can climb a mountain cause on my knees the worlds
a little smaller and I stand taller on my knees.
There's a piece that shadows anything I know I lay down every
burden and im free
I can stand tall
on my knees I can see forever on my knees I can face it all
I feel like I can climb a mountain cause on my knees the worlds
a little smaller on my knees

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;
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."
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 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."
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
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 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 gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses...

I was the lonely one inside
Seemed like my prayers had been denied
I'd come to the decision
to never find a love that's true

Down on my knees again, in prayer,
Oh lord, please send someone to care
My best imagination
could not have dreamed someone like you

You must have been an angel, I can tell
By the heavenly way my heart fell
Oh, it was spiritual, a miracle
That an angel
Would fall in love with me

You've got that heart of gold, I swear
You are the answer to my prayer
And so much heavenly power
to make a mortal dream come true

Oh you were heaven sent, I know
For even when lights are low
I can almost see, I see a halo
Girl I'm so in love with you

Girl, I'm so glad I found you
Gonna wrap my whole world around you
Oh, It's gonna be so heavenly
Just you and me.....
