Besos de Mariposa

If I'm sure of something
It's that from heaven they sent me that daughter I dreamed of
When I go to pray by her bed at night
I close my eyes as she talks to Jesus
And I thank God for what he gives me
But more than anything

Butterfly kisses
Every night when I pray
White flowers in her hair I'll put
She walks next to the little horse, it's my first time
I burned the strawberry cake, daddy
But I tried
If with everything I've done wrong there must be something I did right
To deserve her hugs and butterfly kisses to sleep

Fifteen today
She looks like her mother
Every day a little more
A part of a girl, another of a woman
Perfuming her hair
Makeup on her skin
Opening her wings
To a better world
But I remember

Butterfly kisses
Every night when I pray
White flowers in her hair I'll put
You know how much I love you, daddy
But this time I'll hug you
With all my soul
Then I'll go
If with everything I've done wrong there must be something I did right
To deserve her hugs with butterfly kisses to sleep

Time has passed
Oh, like the wind the years go by
Butterfly now
Fall asleep while flying

She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise
I'll take her to the altar in the bride's room
Looking at her
She asks me what I think
I say I don't know
I just feel like I'm losing my little
Woman
She leans

Butterfly kisses to her mother and me
White flowers in her hair I'll put
Look dad, it's time
Take me to the altar
How do you see my wedding dress
Don't cry anymore
If with everything I've done wrong there must be something I did right
To deserve her love every day

Butterfly kisses
God, what else can I ask for if this is love
I know I have to let her go
Although I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning
With butterfly kisses
