If  there’s one song that always makes me feel all sentimental it is this song…. It’s the song for me and my daddy. This song will definitely be played in my wedding (to whoever he is heheh) but when the reception is almost over because I would definitely cry buckets of tears so…. end part

Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle

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.

Daddy can you imagine this song played on my wedding day? Don’t cry hahah I’ve never seen you cry…

I love you daddy!

Neither One of Us – Jay-R

I’ve decided to blog about my heartsongs… you know more popularly known as “theme songs”. I kinda find it corny heheh and the word “heartsong” says it more clearly for me, as in songs of the heart, songs of my heart.

You know how it is that sometimes when we hear a song and it just speaks to us? We totally get it? Maybe it is even OUR SONG. It’s like it is you singing your heart out. It speaks of what we want to say every word and every melody. It’s normal for people to want to communicate, to say our feelings but unfortunately we just don’t know how to. We can’t put the emotions through words, and luckily for us, some talented songwriter can do it for us.

Oooh I have a lot of heartsongs! Some remain over a span of many many years, some last a few months. Of course it depends on what we are going through at a specific period of our lives. And most of the time, I don’t even have to confide in you, just listen to my current heartsong and you’ll understand what I’m going through.

Some people, like me, are not that comfortable in saying my emotions, even when I already need help I just can’t voice it outloud. Im more of, “I can still handle this myself so I will do just that and continue trying…” until I explode…. oOhh and mind you they’re not colorful fireworks but loud boomerangs.

So music is really a very big part of me. It helped me go through life.  Helped me release pain, angst, and the longing. Or when I’m happy my heartsong says it too. I find a perfect heartsong to be a better friend for me, it totally understands you and what you’re going through, without judgment.

For the past few weeks its been JayR’s version of Neither One of Us… I just love how he sang it, full of emotion, full of hurt hehehe…. he’s really my favorite singer…. love him! enjoy!

It’s sad to think we’re not gonna be here
And it’s gotten to the point
Where we just can’t fake it
For some ungodly reason
We just won’t let it be
