Elrond gazed into the the distance,lost in thought.
Celebrian pulled up a chair next to him and sat there in silence for a while “What are you thinking about?” she asked.
“Just thinking about my little girl,” he replied…

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.
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.

“You know she made a choice,” she said.
“Yes,I know,but…”
“You wonder if it was the right choice.”
“I miss her…” he whispered,a tear rolling down his cheek…

Sweet sixteen today,
She’s looking like her momma a little more every day.
One part woman, the other part a 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 going to 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.”Then she leaned over… and gave
me…

Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
sticking little 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…

Elrond knew she was never coming back but he still felt the pain.He will always remember her butterfly kisses…forever…
