a month or so before my father passed away from cancer, we danced to this song in the living room, because he knew he wouldn't make it to my wedding day. One of my most cherished memories.
This is me and my dad song and losing your dad is already hard but when he know he will not be able to make it to your wedding day that has to be hard and this song makes me cry because my dad simg this song and last year I think I went to a school dance and this song came on for the father and daughter dance and as we were dancing he started to sing it
I’m an older woman now. I wish my daddy had loved me, even just a little bit. My whole life was affected by his not loving or wanting me. Dads are so important in the lives of their daughters. Please always be there for them.
I’m Crying because my daughter never had a relationship like this with her Father, he abandoned her when she was very young. She struggles so much with self esteem issues. I pray she will marry a man who will love her more than anything else in life. Great song!
@@anjellfaith2831 praise God and if he's the man that he needs to be to be begging back into your life as long as he was a good husband and a good think you'll be a good father
To my 2 now grown and gone daughters......I will always remember tucking you in, praying with you and scratching your backs.....Happy Valentines Day to my little girls all grown up and in LA. All the time went by so fast.....But the love of a father is forever!!!
I was my grandpas little girl I lived with him and my granny since I was a couple months and this was one of his favorite songs it makes me cry because I will never get to dance with him at my wedding and I am blessed to have my granny without her I would not be able to make it I love my grandparents so much rip papa
My oldest but still my little princess just got married and went to be with her husband in another state.. Only a dad know how precious a daughter is to him.. Not often tears leave my eyes from hearing a song but this song got me..
i am 12 and you are so lucky you have a daughter because i do not know if my daddys going to jail because this is his last strike and this one was not his fault so just be lucky and you should go surprise your daughter
+Elliot Rodger shutup I don't even have a dad to cry he died when I was 6 ,he was shot and killed we used to do butterfly kisses and now we can't I miss him dearly, so shutup its fine he loves his daughter and if he wanna make a song about it u should not bully him on what he is doing ! RIP daddy sunrise till sundown I miss you so much😢😖
I remember when I was little and my dad used to put me on top of his feet and dance with me. I’m 50yrs old now and I would like to dedicate this song to my father who has always been there for me. I’ve always been a daddy’s girl, and will always be. I’m happy he’s still around. Daddy, I love you❤️🥰😍😘 Karen
I have 2little grand daughters who I wish their grandfather could have seen, it was not to be. He was shopping for Easter treats in 2003, collaped at a bus stop on the way home. I got a call from the hospital, by the time I got there, the love of my life was on life support I had to make the worst call of my life, Pull The Plug I just wish my grandchildren had known this wonderful man. My Son is like him thank God, he takes care of me, more children should be more compassionate to parents like mine are, pleaserespect your parents while you have them, they gave you life.
I'm a single father of my beautiful daughter and handsome son. my daughter will not go to sleep without her butterfly kisses, Eskimo, and of course her normal kiss. I don't know how father's could walk out on there children! There are so many precious moments that I could not live without.
your lucky I'm 13 my daddy and I have been at each other throats for a while now! ever since I turned 13 its like he doesn't even love me. he hardly does butterfly kisses anymore
stay that dad because it hurts when not just one dad leaves but two do it hurt stay that amazing dad the u are to u kids. because it is hard to go though things without a dad there that is my opinion.
I went to a Girl Scout daddy daughter dance with my dad when I was 7 or 8. They played this and I danced on his feet. That’s one of my happiest memories. Since then, he’s gotten a promotion at work and has gotten so stressed. He’s irritable and is different than the daddy that used to read me bedtime stories, and carry me around on his shoulders at parades so I could see the floats. I miss dancing down the aisles of Home Depot, and running early Saturday morning errands. Getting ice cream, and going to the playground. I miss my dad, even though he is still here. I know it’s hard for him as I’m growing older. I know we both miss the old days, when we would go to movies, and ride bikes down the trails. No matter how much he changes, I’ll always be a daddy’s girl. I love him more than anything.
Keep loving him. Tell him you love him and give him a great big hug. He'll eventually find his way back to the things that matter most, which is you. Sometimes it's hard for a dad, but just keep loving him.
As a Dad I’ll say that sometimes the pressure of providing a good life for your kids can be such a weight. And sometimes it makes you forget or get distracted about the person you are trying to provide for. I know if my daughters came to me and talked to me about how they were feeling I would listen to them. Talk to him and let him know what you miss and that you also just want to make sure he’s ok. The dad you loved is still inside of him, I’m sure of it.
I read a lot of these posts where the father passed. I thank God he wasn't ready for me and I was able to walk both my girls down the aisle. Now Im waiting on my 1st grandbaby to be born. I sure hope Im around to see him grow up.
Man I always break into tears when listening to this song, never had a dad growing up, my mother was just not into me, it makes me wish i had this much love growing up
This makes me cry everything. Such beautiful lyrics. Makes me really think about everything my dad has done for me. He’s my everything. He’s all I got since my mom isn’t here for me....she left 3 years ago....🦋🦋🦋
This has been me and my dads song for 15 years I remember buying the CD for Father’s Day with my mum. It still manages to make me ball my eyes out! I’m so blessed and lucky to have the dad that I have and I’m thankful for it everyday he is my rock and my best friend.
IM CRYING MY HEAD OFF WHEN HE SAYS IM ONLY GONNA KISS YOU ON THE CHEEK THIS TIME AND ALL THAT IVE DONE WRONG I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT TO DESERVE BUTTERFLY KISSES 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I remember my dad would play this song over & over when I was very little. He played it so much I started to hate it, but now that I'm older it's a memory I'll cherish forever. I want to dance with my dad to this song at my wedding. 💕 I'm definitely a daddys girl. 💕💕 Dad I know you probably still listen to this song, if you ever read my comment jusy know I love you so very much!!! 💕
My Father passed away in an accident when I was three. He would always sing this song to me to sleep every night. I still listen to it to this day. Here I am, grown up and graduated from high school and getting ready to take the entrance for college, knowing he is proud of my accomplishments and will be there every step of the way. Fly High Daddy! October 1968-August 2003
I'm such a Daddy's Little Girl.... And whoever disliked this song obviously is mad cuz they don't have a daddy. I love you, Daddy. He's raising me (12), my sister (who isn't his child and he's been raising her since she was 2 and she's 17 now), my brothers(4 and 9), my other sister (19) and is looking for his other daughter. He hates when people call my sister his step- daughter, he always says "She's not my step- daughter. She is my daughter, maybe not through blood, but through love. I love her just as much as my other kids."
My Daddy used to play this on the guitar and sing this song to me when I as little but, he hasn't played ever since he and my Mom got divorced 😔but I wish deep down he would pick his guitar up and play and sing this to me deep down I miss his playing and making me smile like I was a little girl girl again so this is a very special song for me!
FNAFQueen Forever aww my dad's ex girlfriend showed this song and we danced to it I only a little girl but I don't want to lose my dad he is my hero. every time I play this song I cry and he would tell me it's OK baby girl you will always have me around. he said I don't know what guy wouldn't want you . you are special. I grew up with three brothers and a sister my whole life he thought me no matter what don't show your weak side. I feel bad because I broke that little promise and know I feel like I disappointed him but when I told him he said it's OK baby girl we all cry and show are weakness. so I feel you I wish we can dance to it again like we did the other night
FNAFQueen Forever, Im sorry if this hurts you but... Im glad you have a father... Cause I dont and reading this comments on people with dads........ It.... It..... Im sorry if I hurt you. 😭
They played this at my dad's memorial in 2019. My strong passed after a seven month battle with pancreatic cancer. My twin and I are my dad's adopted daughters and our big sister their biological daughter but he didn't ever say there was a difference because we were all his girls. He was so proud of me when I graduated Army basic training in May 2010 and became a soldier. I still cherish that photo of us in the field on my BCT Graduation Day
My Daddy had a massive stroke last year, that left him with dementia. I thank God that I still have him to hug and give butterfly kisses to, but with his dementia, it's like he's here then gone, then here and then gone again. I feel like I lose him over and over again. How I've prayed to take his place. I would make you better in a heartbeat if I could. Love you Pops. 😭💔
This song is my daughter's favorite! She was such a Daddy's girl! God knows she grew up to be a wonderful Woman and Mom, but misses Daddy so much! I am sure he is watching down on her and loves her so much!
It breaks my heart every year on the Anniversary of his death! Such a Daddy's girl, has his coloring and smile! I am sure he is looking down and proud of all she has done!
Ever since my daddy heard this song, he’s says this is my song for him...and the song we’ll dance to for my wedding😭. Just praying God always him and I to have that moment🙏🏾.
When my dad was deployed he would always send my family music playlists involving lyrics of love. I remember gathering around the big computer with all my brothers and listening to this song. Ever since then, I find myself crying my eyes out whenever I listen to it.
"She'll change her name today She'll make a promise And i'll give her away." -You're not giving me away, youare still my home, father. "I just feel like im losing my baby girl" -i'm always be your baby girl and it will never change....
No one can prepare your for the roll of becoming a parent. The amount of love and joy children bring into your life is immeasurable. I had children at a very young age, but if i hadnt, id surely be dead... I struggle with anxiety and depression but these babies of mine bless my life and show me the little joys of life every single day that adults seem to over look. I am so so so so lucky to be a mommy.
They played this song for the father-daughter dance at my mom's wedding.. the wedding was a few years ago.. he passed in 2012, before the wedding.. when this song came on.. our family couldn't help crying.. my uncle took the reigns for the dance.. every time I hear this song.. I cry.. I can't help it..
If I had one wish I would wish for every girl in the world to have this type of love with her dad. To love her dad more than she can begin to describe but yet know he loves her even more than that. There is nothing better than knowing that your dad loves you more than anything in this world and would do anything for you and be there for you no matter what
Me and my sister sung this song to our dad for his birthday last month, i barely see my dad cry cause he's one to never cry, but that day when we started singing he had to sit down and cover his face cause he was crying. I'm a daddy's girl and always will be no matter what. I love you daddy
I’m 67 years old now. I used to always tear up when my daughter was younger. Today, it still has the same effect on me even though she’s now 29. It always brings me back to those wonderful memories when I was her whole world
ive never heard this song before and man did it make the tears roll. but im happy as to learn that other people give their daddys butterfly kisses. i thought that was our little thing but aparently not this man and his daughter had them to. fo me it and my dad it was fluttering our eyelashes lol my right eye to his right eye because thats how butterflies have kisses. i need this song now its going to be special to me always.. missing my daddy. be wating at the golden gates with my butterfly kisses dad xoxoxo
That's sad. The part where he said,"She'll change her name today" Really made me cry. I'm sorry for your loss. But just now, he's in a better and safer place now.
my little girl is now 20, this song like many others who comment, makes me cry, where has the time gone, butterfly kisses, riding on my shoulders and a smile that told me how much she loves her dad, so so lucky, now at university and still have so much fun and she still tells her dad how much she loves hims so blessed, she knows this song and when she walks down that isle one day we will play it before hand, tears definitely but tears of joy and forever thankful for a life because of her that is filled with happiness. fantastic song
@@faithfuerte7834 my dad loves me more then anything i got boyfriend who is transgender but he loves this he want this play at my wedding one day when i get married .
I have been listening to this song for years and years and still bring tears to my eyes. Since my daughters were toddlers and now they are in the early 20s. I will leave this songs for them when I pass away soon.
My Dad just died a month ago. I love him so much, and I know this song is going through his head when he thinks of my sis marrying the love of her life.
A few days ago I attended my first father daughter dance without my dad. Every year it was our thing. Our favorite thing all year. As soon as I'd bring the form home, I'd already be able to turn it int he next day. I loved dancing with him, and I can't even describe how horrible it was to go without him this year. But I know there was nothing I could've done to stop his death, and I know he was still there with me even though I couldn't see him.. I have to admit, I didn't exactly know how I was feeling. I cried and cried whenever a slow song came on, especially this one since it was our favorite. I don't think I knew why I was crying, I was angry that he left me but I was sad that I had nobody.. I honestly never felt so alone until then. So what I'm getting at, is if you still have your father, or anyone in your family, cherish the moments you have with them. They'll be gone before you know it.
i am adopted and i did not get to meet my real dad he died but when i was adopted i found i have a step dad now i am so happy and do cherish the little moments with him and you are right
I miss my dad, I miss when he said he loved me. I miss the dad that I had before I fucked up and even before then. I wish I was a child again back when I actually knew he loved me. I feel like everything he does for me is bc he feels obligated to not because he wants to. I know I'm nothing like what he wanted me to be like. I feel like the only way I can gain his approval is by changing everything about me and I dont wanna do that again. I love him so much but I'm so tired of being scared of being myself. I hate disappointing him so much but I can't not be myself anymore.
You should never blame yourself for anything you’ve done I wasted my life playing music and touring and I wish I could take back the time I lost and be the dad she so needed. Remember this dear your dad loves you no matter what you do give him a call just say hi . One step at a time
Your Dad will always love you no matter what you do. He just wants you to be able to maintain happiness. Keep smiling even when you are hurting. Things will get better. My friend told me to keep looking up. All you can do is try to become better than you were yesterday. I love you! Remember that... You is smart. You is kind. You is important.
I don't know your father but a real dad is proud of whatever his daughter does. It might not be what he wanted but if you are putting everything into doing what you want to do and be then he should be there for you ❤❤
When I was born this was the song my dad gave me, I was his first daughter. I love my daddy ❤️❤️ He use to sing this song to me when I was little. On my wedding I'm going to surprise my daddy with this song.
I lost both my step Dad and my biological dad with in the last 4 years. I remember my step dad would sing this song. me and my step dad was very close and now that both my dad's are gone it makes me sad and I cry every time I here it.
Destiny Jones I lost my biological dad when I was 15. By that time my mom remarried and me and my step dada got very close. He walked me down the isle and gave me away at my wedding when I was 18. He passed away 9 & 1/2 yrs later and I still cry every time this song plays. I miss em both so much😭😭😭😭!!!
I cry every time I hear this song sure my dad can be loud and mean sometimes, but he is a great dad and I would not give anything to have a different dad.
I just lost my mama to cancer, it's an awful disease! Give him an extra hug every day, tell him how much you love him even though he already knows, take a spur of the minute trip to town on a day he feels like it...I tell you, the pain of the emptiness of not having her in my life everyday hurts like hell!
I think it's one of the best songs between a father and daughter of any age now my youngest son had his first baby and a girl he told me that he knows what real love is and plays this song for him and Arianna rose all the time she's 10 months old and he's the best dad very proud
When my parents were still together, my dad would always have his music playing when we sat down together for Sunday lunch, and this song would always come up. For a year after their divorce, while my dad still lived in our old house and we went there for weekends, he would play this song a lot more often while he cleaned up the kitchen after Sunday lunch. It became the song that I associated with my dad and it still is now, 4 years on, and we have all moved out of our old house. Recently though, due to various things, I have decided not to see my dad anymore. It's about the hardest decision I've ever had to make and I still miss him so much even though I know I can't go back to his weekends, but this song still holds a special place in my heart. It reminds me of all the times I spent with my dad when we were still a complete family living in our old house, and of all the brilliant times I've had on his weekends, but most of all it reminds me of how much I do still love him.
I might do a mommy daughter dance if I ever get married. My dad left and came back when I was 14. I don’t have a good relationship with my dad. This song makes me cry because I wish I had this relationship with my dad. I’ve tried but he won’t even hug me.
Same,my dad abandoned me 8 years ago and all I know is he has a new family. He called me 2 months ago telling me he is sorry maybe its out guilt but nothing changed after that,actually he never called back. Still, my dad doesn't care about me
This is the song my Dad & I Danced to at my wedding reception & then he handed my hand to my husband to finish out the dance. It made me cry tears of joy.
It won’t get any easier when she’s actually there. I’m a stay at home mom and it hurts but I see my husband cry as he leaves for work. I can only imagine how he feels. It’s only a few hours but he can’t stand it. It will never be easy. But you’ll get to see her after and feel so blessed. You’ll take her from her mommas arms and cuddle her for hours or until she’s hungry (hopefully she has a bottle ready so you can continue holding her) and everything will feel like it’s fallen into place. In 18 years when she says she’s ready to go, it’s gonna be hard, I’m scared for it nothing can’t prepare you for it.
My dad and I danced to this when I was 7 years old on stage during my dance recital. There wasn't a dry eye in the theater and I hope I can play the video at my wedding one day
This song ALWAYS makes me cry! Ever since I was 8 yrs old my dad would basically say he might die within the two years because of his health problems. He still has those problems, and I pray everyday that he lives another year, and while he lives a better lifestyle now... those problems haven’t gotten any better. This has made me veerrryyy sensitive to “dad loves his daughter song” or “dad dies/something really emotional happens in a movie. My mom has moved me away from him, and I only get to see him during summer break, I’m definitely attached to my dad. My dad has came to terms with it a very long time ago, and he’s just grateful he’s alive now. I’ve come to terms with it more than when I was younger, but jeeez this song never fails to make me cry at “Walk down the aisle Daddy, Daddy don’t cry!” if I haven’t already. My dad knows this, but he still plays the song every now and then when I come over. He likes these types of songs too much...
This is the longest I’ve ever gone without seeing my dad and I put this song on as a joke for a game and suddenly I’m tearing up wishing I could see him again
I know I wasn't the best daughter but I sure did love my step dad he was my hero and still is. I remember him tucking me into bed kissing me on the forehead and him telling me he loved me when I was a little girl. He passed away March this year. 7 months tomorrow you will have been gone, I don't know how I do it dad but every day I smile and laugh and push on for you! I love you so much. I will never forget the hero you were!❤️❤️
At my daddy daughter dance we danced to this song and I cried. My dad had cancer for 20 years and was always in the hospital and I would pray for him every night and he would kiss my on my head. He is a survivor. Love you daddy
I'm a guy...I dont have a dad in my life I got a mom and a grandmother and evertime I hear this song it reminds me of just how much they love me... I really love this song! Damn onions stop making me cry
My dad passed away in March of this year and it breaks my heart because this was our song. I wish I had 5 more minutes to say i love him and how much he taught me. I know about cars and everything that a son should know, but i enjoyed watching my dad work on cars or anything that got me oily. I love you dad 1959-2023
"Butterfly Kisses" is a song written by Bob Carlisle and Randy Thomas from Carlisle's third studio album Butterfly Kisses (Shades of Grace).[1] The song was written for his daughter Brooke's 16th birthday.[2] Carlisle also wrote a journal entitled Butterfly Kisses for fathers and their daughters. There have been many cover versions of the song including Raybon Brothers, Jeff Carson, Westlife and Cliff Richard.
Same with my grandfather. I miss him. My mom listens to this song because this is the song she danced to with her father (who is my grandfather)R.I.P.. This song helps my mom through things too i'm sure. It's hard on my mom cause her father's last breathes were in her arms. My grandfather died peacefully in my mom's arms in the hospital.
i know how you feel. God bless you and may God be with you! Keep smiling and thank God for the moments you got to spend with him. Not all the moments you didn't get to spend with him.
I just found out I may be a father to a little girl I played this song and broke down I really hope to see her and play this song while I hold her close to me. Never take a child for granted because their love will be unconditional
Truly missing my dad as I’m planning my wedding this was supposed to be the song we danced together. Oh god knows how much I miss him 😭 I miss you daddy your wisdom and your advice always helped me in life
These songs make me emotional .. my father was physically and verbally abusive towards me and when it came to giving me up for my dad to adopt me he gladly gave me up..... but now he has another child and he's going through a divorce and he's trying to keep his kid... it just hurts knowing he gave me up so easily and he's not giving his son up like he did me... but I got a good dad out of it but still hurts
I understand.. my father was very emotionally physically abusive to me and my mother not so much my other siblings but he now lives in Toronto (canada) and left my mom and the 5 kids he had with her... but tbh I'm happy hes gone we are better now that hes gone but it still hurts...
@Brenton Boutin God yeah right God doesnt exist.. I believed in God but I stopped believing because why would "God" put me through hell and kill my stepfather who was the closest thing I had to a dad and give my mom cancer ? Shes all I have left if this cancer kills her I'm going with her I cant live in a world without her she was there when my dad left me she was always there for me and my siblings there is no "God" because if there was why would there still be evil in this world ? If he is more powerful then the devil why cant he stop his evil? Dont tell me God put me through hell because he knew I was "strong" enough to get through it because that's bullshit
@Brenton Boutin all I wanted was to believe that there was a God and that my dad would change.. I wanted to play this at my wedding when I'm older for the father daughter dance but he doesnt deserve to even be at my wedding.. all I wanted was to have a good dad who loved me..
I know tht feeling all to well.. my test tube parents had me for a rich aunt.. then as she went to pay for my birth bitches tubes to be tied as part of deal, instead of putting her name on certificate as my mom... they put thier names so they could use mt to get more $$ outta her... but my dad went to prison,my aunt soo loved me but bc she wasn't my mom as they said my so called 1 used to tell me growing up wht a looser I was an mistake, by 8 she put me out called me as run away jst to save her for when i was found dead she said, now she loved her other 2.... but me... I've never been allowed a life or a family bc of those 2. So when I had my bbys I've givien them soo much love, positivity tht they are something very special yes it's killed me some wht inside & made me even more empty on alot of things,but my kids are 311,25,24,& 19 & I am 43, I see how they turned out.. & here them praise & thank me for all tht they are an all tht I am to them... I cry & when it comes to songs an movies with real families, real loving parents.. I jst cannot make my-self watch or listen around them bc of jst how horrible I cry an feel.
my dad just passed away a few weeks ago. and this was his song to me. it's so hard to listen to this song. 😔 I just turned 16 a few weeks before he died, and so I'll never see him in the seats when I graduate high school next year, when I graduate college, he won't be there to walk me down the isle when I get married, he won't be there when I have my first child. just listening to this song brang back so many good memories of us. I'll keep this song treasured in my heart for as long as I shall live.
You may not see him, but if you believe, it is amazing how miracles happen, a peaceful breeze, a bird, a sound, a sense so clear...I "believe" your Dad will be there to see you through all life's experiences.
My x took my daughter away from me & moved to another provencebefore she was born, i fought long and hard, but never won.. i would travel 9 houres once a month to see her, i was only allowed to see her 4 hours at a time, i would leave at 2am to get there by 11am/12pm.. i would have to have her home by 4pm!! then the long heartbreaking trip home. one day when she was 4, i was on the way home from her, i heard this song for the 1st time.. & i had to pull over to the side of the road becuse i could not hold back my tears anymore. i'm not ashamed to say i cried long and hard! when i was able to compose myself i continued to take the long sad trip home, i later found this song, and played it when ever i left her, be it for comfort or pain.. i just had to hear it.. at the age of 5 1/2 her mother had a trip planed & had no one to take care of my daughter, and finnally gave in to me taking her for the week, i was so excited, well..( do to car issues ;) ..) i was able to keep her for a month, and one day i played her this song.. and you can see a light go off in her eyes as she truly understood the words & meaning to this song. finally the time had come to take her home :( just before we got there, she asked me to play her song. what made it more meaningful..& yes heartbreaking was she sang along with the song & she cried.. my heart was in so much pain as i come to realised that i was not the only one feeling the pain of us not being together. This little 5 year old angel was filled with as much love for me as I was for her! well everytime we seen each other after that, she would ask for her song on the way home to her mothers, she is now 12 and i see her when allowed,now with longer periods apart! it's been over a year now..and there is no word for the pain i feel ! my emails & phone calls go unanswered. and i believe i lost my battle for my little one. I see & hear stories about deadbeat fathers.. but i am not one.. yet i have no rights! i fear the next time my daughter sees me, if when i'm laid to rest! :( my laughs are hallow, my smile painted on. my head hangs low and my heart & soul is so empty without her. I love & miss you endless Logan.
oh wow i wept at ur story. It's a little similar to mine, except my daughter is now 24, lives independently, and I see her several times a year. But from the age of 2, I had her nearly half the time. I cannot imagine your pain. People say "time heals all wounds" - but I'm betting you know that it doesn't. This song still makes me cry today! I sure hope you will be reunited with your precious daughter when she's old enough to make her own decisions. I hope she remembers how much you love her, and she remembers this song.
New father here and I played this when I first seen my little girl at ultrasound. Couldn't help but break down in tears looking at her And hearing this
I'm a Guy but my dad passed away in 2006 on Christmas day. I miss him man and I cry everyday. The pain feels like it was yesterday.. the hardest thing I've faced was turning 18 without my dad around. For I am going to be deployed in two years and I wish he could be here for that. I got to go, in crying. Sorry guys..
Hang in there, Kevin. It's hard losing a loved one, but trust in God and His bigger plans. Your dad is very proud of you no doubt, and you have an amazing guardian angel not only for your deployment, but every day before and after that. Stay strong and always look up. I'm praying for you!
I feel you... My dad died that same year just a bit before Thanksgiving when I was 17. This song still makes me cry, too. It hurts knowing he won't be there someday to walk me down the aisle...
This was my song with my dad. I wanted to dance with him at my wedding but he passsd away 12/30/21. And I miss him more than anything. But I know he’s watching over me and my son and I know how proud he is of me, for getting sober and finding the one man who treats me like a queen and loves me almost as much as he did. I love you daddy ❤️
I love this song and am looking at wedding songs now for my daughter..known this song for years. I just thought I'd metion it's actually Bob Carlisle singing..thanks for sharing..
learned this song from my mom actually. didnt grow up with my dad, but she loved bob dillan. still makes me remember childhood times when she'd give me butterfly kisses
Father's day 2019 I sitting here listening to this as my 18 year old daughter is in her room doing her own thing and I played this song many times and cry every time as I raised her on my own and it wasn't easy I just hope im around ro see her get married. 😢
Our mother used to always give us butterfly kisses and always plays this song. I know it's not our father(I say 'our' because I'm a twin)but it still means a lot to me. Our mother isn't dead or anything, but she's been in and out of rehab and she doesn't live with us anymore. I miss her being with us, living with us, and I always will. I love her so so so much. To the moon and back. This song will forever have a special place in my heart.
My daddy and I danced to the instrumental version of this at his second wedding.. He passed away 2 days shy of a month after my 10th birthday, 6 days before christmas.. I was in the car a few months after his death and this song came on my moms ipod and I remembered my daddys wedding.. As the song was playing I realized that there was someone singing, I only thought there was an instrumental version.. As I was listening to the lyrics and began crying.. I am now 18 years old turning 19 this year.. I didn't have my father here when I graduated from 5th grade, entered middle school, graduated from middle school and entered high school.. He wasn't there to see me go to my first homecoming, to see me go on my first date, go to my first prom, wasn't there for my 16th birthday nor my 18th.. He won't be there when I graduate this year and enter college, won't be there when I get married, to see his first grandchild, to see me succeed and become something amazing.. At least he won't physically see it and be there.. But he will forever be in my heart and his grandkids will be told how he'd be an amazing grandfather.. I do miss you daddy.. so much..
+Brook Mannila-Andrus I am so sorry, I don't know what it's like to have no dad, my real dad left when I was 2 and I am 13 this year. my mum is getting married so I will have a step dad but I will never know what its like. and you were so young, its unimaginable. I am really so sorry for you loss. RIP xxoxo
update: right before I put in make-up to go to my graduation Thursday June 9th, my mom had me come into her room and gave me a necklace that says "dad forever in my heart".. it's a heart shaped necklace with his ashes in it so he could be with me as I graduated.. it made me cry it made me sad but I was thankful because then I wouldn't have had to wear his jacket my grandmother gave me (I was planning on wearing his marine jacket as it was the only thing I had at the time) and become more hot than I already was going to (I live in vegas it was 106° that day) and he was closer to my heart than he would've been with the jacket also with the necklace the teachers wouldn't make me take it off like they would have with the jacket...
My father passed when I was 9, we used to do all the things described in the first verse, butterfly kisses were a staple in our home and we cherished them like others cherish pinky promises. My mother isn’t present in my life and was always in and out, but she was stable for a few years once. She told me she remembered him listening to this song when I was a little girl, and it would always remind her of him and how much he loved being my dad. I miss him endlessly, September 6th was his 13th anniversary. I’m 22 now, and question so much because he won’t be present to see me evolve. I truly hope he is proud of me.
I just turned 18 a few days ago, and I hadn't heard this song in a long time. But as I sat in bed listening to it, thinking for just random reasons, about the song I'm going to use as my Father Daughter dance when I get married(I don't even have a boyfriend right now) I know for a fact that this is the one I want! Couldn't have summed up my relationship with my dad better. I haven't always been the best daughter I could be, but he hasn't always been the best dad, but we've both tried, and that's all I can ask for. I can honestly say I miss those hugs every morning, I still get them some mornings, and butterfly kisses at night.
I love this I'm so thankful to have my stepdad I'm gonna be 16 in 4 months and I'm so thankful he came in when he didnt have to I love him with all my heart he helps me so much
a month or so before my father passed away from cancer, we danced to this song in the living room, because he knew he wouldn't make it to my wedding day.
One of my most cherished memories.
This just made my eyes well up, that is a beautiful memory . I am sorry about your dad
♡
im sorry for you
god bless you and your father .
This is me and my dad song and losing your dad is already hard but when he know he will not be able to make it to your wedding day that has to be hard and this song makes me cry because my dad simg this song and last year I think I went to a school dance and this song came on for the father and daughter dance and as we were dancing he started to sing it
I’m an older woman now. I wish my daddy had loved me, even just a little bit. My whole life was affected by his not loving or wanting me. Dads are so important in the lives of their daughters. Please always be there for them.
This song makes me cry because it is everything I did not get from my biological dad. Him not wanting me really messed me up.
Misty, you have a Heavenly Father who loves you so much that He sent His Son to die for you.
That's deep
Yes.same
I'm the same always think I missed out on something when I see how much my daughter loves her dad xx
I’m Crying because my daughter never had a relationship like this with her Father, he abandoned her when she was very young. She struggles so much with self esteem issues. I pray she will marry a man who will love her more than anything else in life. Great song!
😭😭😭😭😭
I also crying for my daughter cause she raised up without her daddy. He just abandoned her. Now she is only have me as mommy and also daddy...
She is going to be blessed with someone who will give her all the Love she deserves ❤️
💋
YOUR daughter? I'm confused.
@@anjellfaith2831 praise God and if he's the man that he needs to be to be begging back into your life as long as he was a good husband and a good think you'll be a good father
Lost my dad a few weeks ago. This was one of his favorite songs for us. Miss you Dad. Watch over your grandson from heaven please.
Sorry to hear the loss of your dad. A year is still so new. My dad died in 2004. I still miss him like it was yesterday. Bless you.
To my 2 now grown and gone daughters......I will always remember tucking you in, praying with you and scratching your backs.....Happy Valentines Day to my little girls all grown up and in LA. All the time went by so fast.....But the love of a father is forever!!!
Amen
Awww this made me cry
I was my grandpas little girl I lived with him and my granny since I was a couple months and this was one of his favorite songs it makes me cry because I will never get to dance with him at my wedding and I am blessed to have my granny without her I would not be able to make it I love my grandparents so much rip papa
💕same!!!
My oldest but still my little princess just got married and went to be with her husband in another state.. Only a dad know how precious a daughter is to him.. Not often tears leave my eyes from hearing a song but this song got me..
i am 12 and you are so lucky you have a daughter because i do not know if my daddys going to jail because this is his last strike and this one was not his fault so just be lucky and you should go surprise your daughter
lol omg try listening to "i loved her first" by heartland if you wanna hear another beautiful dad/daughter song.
+Elliot Rodger shutup I don't even have a dad to cry he died when I was 6 ,he was shot and killed we used to do butterfly kisses and now we can't I miss him dearly, so shutup its fine he loves his daughter and if he wanna make a song about it u should not bully him on what he is doing !
RIP daddy sunrise till sundown I miss you so much😢😖
I remember when I was little and my dad used to put me on top of his feet and dance with me. I’m 50yrs old now and I would like to dedicate this song to my father who has always been there for me. I’ve always been a daddy’s girl, and will always be. I’m happy he’s still around.
Daddy, I love you❤️🥰😍😘

I have 2little grand daughters who I wish their grandfather could have seen, it was not to be. He was shopping for Easter treats in 2003, collaped at a bus stop on the way home. I got a call from the hospital, by the time I got there, the love of my life was on life support I had to make the worst call of my life, Pull The Plug I just wish my grandchildren had known this wonderful man. My Son is like him thank God, he takes care of me, more children should be more compassionate to parents like mine are, pleaserespect your parents while you have them, they gave you life.
beth robb I’m sorry for your loss 💕
They should be more compassionate to their parents i grow up in a house with my dad who treats his parents right and im lucky for that
Daddy's home
I am soo sorry for your loss❤❤ and honestly that made me cry soo much
@@Stickflood I too had to make the decison to unplug my husband! Hardest thing I ever made!
I'm a single father of my beautiful daughter and handsome son. my daughter will not go to sleep without her butterfly kisses, Eskimo, and of course her normal kiss. I don't know how father's could walk out on there children! There are so many precious moments that I could not live without.
your lucky I'm 13 my daddy and I have been at each other throats for a while now! ever since I turned 13 its like he doesn't even love me. he hardly does butterfly kisses anymore

Earl Harts you sound like an amazing Dad.

Earl Harts where your wife

@AMBER POND same I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for your loss

i’m so sorry❤️😪
Julia Roberts I miss mine too I lost mine at 4 years old
I went to a Girl Scout daddy daughter dance with my dad when I was 7 or 8. They played this and I danced on his feet. That’s one of my happiest memories. Since then, he’s gotten a promotion at work and has gotten so stressed. He’s irritable and is different than the daddy that used to read me bedtime stories, and carry me around on his shoulders at parades so I could see the floats. I miss dancing down the aisles of Home Depot, and running early Saturday morning errands. Getting ice cream, and going to the playground. I miss my dad, even though he is still here. I know it’s hard for him as I’m growing older. I know we both miss the old days, when we would go to movies, and ride bikes down the trails. No matter how much he changes, I’ll always be a daddy’s girl. I love him more than anything.
Keep loving him. Tell him you love him and give him a great big hug. He'll eventually find his way back to the things that matter most, which is you. Sometimes it's hard for a dad, but just keep loving him.
This is exactly like me and my dad
They played this every time at the father daughter dance
It's not easy being a dad some times.~ Have faith. It's not you, it's not him. It's just life. 💕🙏🏼💕✝️💕🙏🏼💕
As a Dad I’ll say that sometimes the pressure of providing a good life for your kids can be such a weight. And sometimes it makes you forget or get distracted about the person you are trying to provide for. I know if my daughters came to me and talked to me about how they were feeling I would listen to them. Talk to him and let him know what you miss and that you also just want to make sure he’s ok. The dad you loved is still inside of him, I’m sure of it.
I get married next spring and am listening for my daddy daughter dance song and the minute it started playing tear everywhere. I may have found it.
Same!!! Hahaha
Is this mine and my dads song
Grace Clark me too
My daddy passed away yesterday and this was our song
So sorry
Im so sorry just keep going im sure u are doing great pray for him 😢
I’m so sorry, Im sure he’s in a better place now😇
i am sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry❤️
I read a lot of these posts where the father passed. I thank God he wasn't ready for me and I was able to walk both my girls down the aisle. Now Im waiting on my 1st grandbaby to be born. I sure hope Im around to see him grow up.
Man I always break into tears when listening to this song, never had a dad growing up, my mother was just not into me, it makes me wish i had this much love growing up
This makes me cry everything. Such beautiful lyrics. Makes me really think about everything my dad has done for me. He’s my everything. He’s all I got since my mom isn’t here for me....she left 3 years ago....🦋🦋🦋
This has been me and my dads song for 15 years I remember buying the CD for Father’s Day with my mum. It still manages to make me ball my eyes out! I’m so blessed and lucky to have the dad that I have and I’m thankful for it everyday he is my rock and my best friend.
IM CRYING MY HEAD OFF WHEN HE SAYS IM ONLY GONNA KISS YOU ON THE CHEEK THIS TIME AND ALL THAT IVE DONE WRONG I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT TO DESERVE BUTTERFLY KISSES 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Haley your name wouldn't be Haley Renee shepherd with it if it is this is Mark Morales your uncle

Every dad deserves a kiss even when they've done wrong...

That gets me every time
Planning to use this as my father Daddy dance at my wedding next year.. May God grant me this wish Amen..
I wish she was still here,but she is in heaven now. Still cry for her.shy was my little girl.
You can take me as your daughter
I remember my dad would play this song over & over when I was very little. He played it so much I started to hate it, but now that I'm older it's a memory I'll cherish forever. I want to dance with my dad to this song at my wedding. 💕 I'm definitely a daddys girl. 💕💕 Dad I know you probably still listen to this song, if you ever read my comment jusy know I love you so very much!!! 💕
Unfortunately he passed away before I got to dance with him at my wedding. 😭😭
That is a great comment
@@sbagging1819 I'm so sorry for your loss he's in a better place now🥺🙏
@@sbagging1819 Sorry to hear that. That's so sad..
Oh your dad must’ve been so in love with you to play this song so much. That’s sweet.
My Father passed away in an accident when I was three. He would always sing this song to me to sleep every night. I still listen to it to this day. Here I am, grown up and graduated from high school and getting ready to take the entrance for college, knowing he is proud of my accomplishments and will be there every step of the way. Fly High Daddy! October 1968-August 2003
My mom used to play this all the time when I was 8. I’m 26 now and still playing it to this day. Absolutely beautiful.
I'm such a Daddy's Little Girl.... And whoever disliked this song obviously is mad cuz they don't have a daddy. I love you, Daddy. He's raising me (12), my sister (who isn't his child and he's been raising her since she was 2 and she's 17 now), my brothers(4 and 9), my other sister (19) and is looking for his other daughter. He hates when people call my sister his step- daughter, he always says "She's not my step- daughter. She is my daughter, maybe not through blood, but through love. I love her just as much as my other kids."
Yeah
As a dad of 2 beautiful little girls, I cannot make it through the first minute without tears.
I love etue
I had been crying for almost an hour
:)
Needing clover love ......
my dad was the same way and i was crying to because i am grateful for him
My Daddy used to play this on the guitar and sing this song to me when I as little but, he hasn't played ever since he and my Mom got divorced 😔but I wish deep down he would pick his guitar up and play and sing this to me deep down I miss his playing and making me smile like I was a little girl girl again so this is a very special song for me!
Trinity McNicholas thank u and I'm sorry for u
+FNAFQueen Forever sorry
FNAFQueen Forever wow realy makes me think my wife and i are recently split we have 3 baby girls i wonder if they miss me the way i miss them
FNAFQueen Forever aww my dad's ex girlfriend showed this song and we danced to it I only a little girl but I don't want to lose my dad he is my hero. every time I play this song I cry and he would tell me it's OK baby girl you will always have me around. he said I don't know what guy wouldn't want you . you are special. I grew up with three brothers and a sister my whole life he thought me no matter what don't show your weak side. I feel bad because I broke that little promise and know I feel like I disappointed him but when I told him he said it's OK baby girl we all cry and show are weakness. so I feel you I wish we can dance to it again like we did the other night
FNAFQueen Forever, Im sorry if this hurts you but... Im glad you have a father... Cause I dont and reading this comments on people with dads........ It.... It..... Im sorry if I hurt you. 😭
They played this at my dad's memorial in 2019. My strong passed after a seven month battle with pancreatic cancer. My twin and I are my dad's adopted daughters and our big sister their biological daughter but he didn't ever say there was a difference because we were all his girls.
He was so proud of me when I graduated Army basic training in May 2010 and became a soldier. I still cherish that photo of us in the field on my BCT Graduation Day

Congratulations That's Awesome!!
Thank you for your service and sacrifice I’m so sure your father was so proud of you and is your guardian angel
My Daddy had a massive stroke last year, that left him with dementia. I thank God that I still have him to hug and give butterfly kisses to, but with his dementia, it's like he's here then gone, then here and then gone again. I feel like I lose him over and over again. How I've prayed to take his place. I would make you better in a heartbeat if I could. Love you Pops. 😭💔
I'll pray for your pops! He will be fine! Don't you worry 😊👍🏻
You got this girl
Melinda Solis praying for you ❤️❤️✝️
This song is my daughter's favorite! She was such a Daddy's girl! God knows she grew up to be a wonderful Woman and Mom, but misses Daddy so much! I am sure he is watching down on her and loves her so much!
It breaks my heart every year on the Anniversary of his death! Such a Daddy's girl, has his coloring and smile! I am sure he is looking down and proud of all she has done!
Truly sorry for your loss
I have twin daughters. Daddy/Daughters recital next month to this song. I cry every time we rehearse.

Ever since my daddy heard this song, he’s says this is my song for him...and the song we’ll dance to for my wedding😭. Just praying God always him and I to have that moment🙏🏾.
When my dad was deployed he would always send my family music playlists involving lyrics of love. I remember gathering around the big computer with all my brothers and listening to this song. Ever since then, I find myself crying my eyes out whenever I listen to it.
Mary Martino
so sorry to hear that I don't get to see my dad eher
my dads favorite song..hes battling cancer now...i love him sooooo much!! my daddy♡♡♡
Diane Alfieri bless him how is doing? are u ok?? I lost my dad to cancer over 8 years i still cry to this the only man i ever loved left too soon xx
"She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise
And i'll give her away."
-You're not giving me away, youare still my home, father.
"I just feel like im losing my baby girl"
-i'm always be your baby girl and it will never change....
No one can prepare your for the roll of becoming a parent. The amount of love and joy children bring into your life is immeasurable. I had children at a very young age, but if i hadnt, id surely be dead... I struggle with anxiety and depression but these babies of mine bless my life and show me the little joys of life every single day that adults seem to over look. I am so so so so lucky to be a mommy.
They played this song for the father-daughter dance at my mom's wedding.. the wedding was a few years ago.. he passed in 2012, before the wedding.. when this song came on.. our family couldn't help crying.. my uncle took the reigns for the dance.. every time I hear this song.. I cry.. I can't help it..
Zachary Kenney im so sorry my dad left when i was 2 so i really dont now him
I can't make it through the first verse without tears, I love my daddy so much, but I am not sure if I can love him more than he loves me 😭❤
Very well said !!! as a father who loves his daughter to no end I can understand your comment 100% !!!!!!!!
I just broke down this reminded me of my uncle and my grandpa
As a father about to marry his youngest daughter this Oct I am not sure if I can make it thru this song. Hoping she will pick it for our dance.
If I had one wish I would wish for every girl in the world to have this type of love with her dad. To love her dad more than she can begin to describe but yet know he loves her even more than that. There is nothing better than knowing that your dad loves you more than anything in this world and would do anything for you and be there for you no matter what
Me and my sister sung this song to our dad for his birthday last month, i barely see my dad cry cause he's one to never cry, but that day when we started singing he had to sit down and cover his face cause he was crying. I'm a daddy's girl and always will be no matter what. I love you daddy
Awww. That's beautiful. 🥰🥰
I’m 67 years old now. I used to always tear up when my daughter was younger.
Today, it still has the same effect on me even though she’s now 29. It always brings me back to those wonderful memories when I was her whole world
ive never heard this song before and man did it make the tears roll. but im happy as to learn that other people give their daddys butterfly kisses. i thought that was our little thing but aparently not this man and his daughter had them to. fo me it and my dad it was fluttering our eyelashes lol my right eye to his right eye because thats how butterflies have kisses. i need this song now its going to be special to me always.. missing my daddy. be wating at the golden gates with my butterfly kisses dad xoxoxo
+Linda Richardson-heka same here
That's sad. The part where he said,"She'll change her name today" Really made me cry. I'm sorry for your loss. But just now, he's in a better and safer place now.

+hannah colburn that really cool
Like the comment
my little girl is now 20, this song like many others who comment, makes me cry, where has the time gone, butterfly kisses, riding on my shoulders and a smile that told me how much she loves her dad, so so lucky, now at university and still have so much fun and she still tells her dad how much she loves hims so blessed, she knows this song and when she walks down that isle one day we will play it before hand, tears definitely but tears of joy and forever thankful for a life because of her that is filled with happiness. fantastic song
I have a little girl. She's growing up so fast....... why are there so many onions being cut right now?!

@@faithfuerte7834 my dad loves me more then anything i got boyfriend who is transgender but he loves this he want this play at my wedding one day when i get married .
I have a son but this song still tugs at my heart every time I hear it ❤
I have been listening to this song for years and years and still bring tears to my eyes. Since my daughters were toddlers and now they are in the early 20s. I will leave this songs for them when I pass away soon.
I love this song it makes me want to pray to god every day and night. Thanks for this lovely song.
I'm a son but this song still makes me cry like a baby every time. I love you so much, Dad.
My Dad just died a month ago. I love him so much, and I know this song is going through his head when he thinks of my sis marrying the love of her life.
A few days ago I attended my first father daughter dance without my dad. Every year it was our thing. Our favorite thing all year. As soon as I'd bring the form home, I'd already be able to turn it int he next day. I loved dancing with him, and I can't even describe how horrible it was to go without him this year. But I know there was nothing I could've done to stop his death, and I know he was still there with me even though I couldn't see him.. I have to admit, I didn't exactly know how I was feeling. I cried and cried whenever a slow song came on, especially this one since it was our favorite. I don't think I knew why I was crying, I was angry that he left me but I was sad that I had nobody.. I honestly never felt so alone until then. So what I'm getting at, is if you still have your father, or anyone in your family, cherish the moments you have with them. They'll be gone before you know it.
+Rylee Beltz
i am adopted and i did not get to meet my real dad he died but when i was adopted i found i have a step dad now i am so happy and do cherish the little moments with him and you are right
He's always going to be with you
my dad doesn't love me so be thankful he actually loved you...
Dark Angel just work with him maybe he is going through something
I miss my dad, I miss when he said he loved me. I miss the dad that I had before I fucked up and even before then. I wish I was a child again back when I actually knew he loved me. I feel like everything he does for me is bc he feels obligated to not because he wants to. I know I'm nothing like what he wanted me to be like. I feel like the only way I can gain his approval is by changing everything about me and I dont wanna do that again. I love him so much but I'm so tired of being scared of being myself. I hate disappointing him so much but I can't not be myself anymore.
You should never blame yourself for anything you’ve done I wasted my life playing music and touring and I wish I could take back the time I lost and be the dad she so needed. Remember this dear your dad loves you no matter what you do give him a call just say hi . One step at a time
Your daddy will love you no matter what. I will always love and protect my baby girl whatever she does
Your Dad will always love you no matter what you do. He just wants you to be able to maintain happiness. Keep smiling even when you are hurting. Things will get better. My friend told me to keep looking up. All you can do is try to become better than you were yesterday. I love you! Remember that...
You is smart.
You is kind.
You is important.
I don't know your father but a real dad is proud of whatever his daughter does. It might not be what he wanted but if you are putting everything into doing what you want to do and be then he should be there for you ❤❤
When I was born this was the song my dad gave me, I was his first daughter. I love my daddy ❤️❤️
He use to sing this song to me when I was little. On my wedding I'm going to surprise my daddy with this song.
Bella Beauty comes
I lost both my step Dad and my biological dad with in the last 4 years. I remember my step dad would sing this song. me and my step dad was very close and now that both my dad's are gone it makes me sad and I cry every time I here it.
Destiny Jones I lost my biological dad when I was 15. By that time my mom remarried and me and my step dada got very close. He walked me down the isle and gave me away at my wedding when I was 18. He passed away 9 & 1/2 yrs later and I still cry every time this song plays. I miss em both so much😭😭😭😭!!!
Also I stood on my stepdads feet as we danced to this song at the reception.
I know how you feel
BEAUTIFUL 😍😍
I cry every time I hear this song sure my dad can be loud and mean sometimes, but he is a great dad and I would not give anything to have a different dad.
How could someone not like this song? It is so heartfelt. I cry every time I listen to this song.
My dad sang this to me when I was born I’m 16 now and he has got diagnosed with cancer I’m so sad don’t want are travels to end 😭
My dad died of cancer I’m here for you
Autumn Wagoner thx
Hope Pearson thank u it just hurts
All you can is stay strong for him , and be positive.I hope the best for the both of you.
I just lost my mama to cancer, it's an awful disease! Give him an extra hug every day, tell him how much you love him even though he already knows, take a spur of the minute trip to town on a day he feels like it...I tell you, the pain of the emptiness of not having her in my life everyday hurts like hell!
I decorated my college graduation cap "Morning hugs and butterfly kisses." My dad is going to lose it when I walk off the stage. Can't wait!!!
I think it's one of the best songs between a father and daughter of any age now my youngest son had his first baby and a girl he told me that he knows what real love is and plays this song for him and Arianna rose all the time she's 10 months old and he's the best dad very proud
When my parents were still together, my dad would always have his music playing when we sat down together for Sunday lunch, and this song would always come up. For a year after their divorce, while my dad still lived in our old house and we went there for weekends, he would play this song a lot more often while he cleaned up the kitchen after Sunday lunch. It became the song that I associated with my dad and it still is now, 4 years on, and we have all moved out of our old house.
Recently though, due to various things, I have decided not to see my dad anymore. It's about the hardest decision I've ever had to make and I still miss him so much even though I know I can't go back to his weekends, but this song still holds a special place in my heart. It reminds me of all the times I spent with my dad when we were still a complete family living in our old house, and of all the brilliant times I've had on his weekends, but most of all it reminds me of how much I do still love him.
Up here in
I never got to be a daddy's girl. The daddy's girls so incredibly lucky. # mommy's girl
I might do a mommy daughter dance if I ever get married.
My dad left and came back when I was 14. I don’t have a good relationship with my dad.
This song makes me cry because I wish I had this relationship with my dad. I’ve tried but he won’t even hug me.
Same,my dad abandoned me 8 years ago and all I know is he has a new family. He called me 2 months ago telling me he is sorry maybe its out guilt but nothing changed after that,actually he never called back. Still, my dad doesn't care about me
im neither :/
I used to be a daddy's girl..
Yea me either , he's around just hasn't been involved since i was 9yrs old , i'm 34 now.
This is the song my Dad & I Danced to at my wedding reception & then he handed my hand to my husband to finish out the dance. It made me cry tears of joy.
I pray my dad is there when i get married
Kayla Jones me too he’s my world
Me too
I think your dad will be there when you get married just because he would want to miss his little girls wedding
im sure he will
I hope my parents are at my wedding too :(
Man I’m only 17 and scared of letting my future daughter go... 😭😭😭
It won’t get any easier when she’s actually there. I’m a stay at home mom and it hurts but I see my husband cry as he leaves for work. I can only imagine how he feels. It’s only a few hours but he can’t stand it. It will never be easy. But you’ll get to see her after and feel so blessed. You’ll take her from her mommas arms and cuddle her for hours or until she’s hungry (hopefully she has a bottle ready so you can continue holding her) and everything will feel like it’s fallen into place. In 18 years when she says she’s ready to go, it’s gonna be hard, I’m scared for it nothing can’t prepare you for it.
Same I am only 15 and scared
Coming from a teenage girl I don’t think you ever let go. I know that I’m always gonna be my dads little girl
That a true future dad
i'm only 16 and i'm scared to see my future husband go before my future daughter's wedding😭
My dad and I danced to this when I was 7 years old on stage during my dance recital. There wasn't a dry eye in the theater and I hope I can play the video at my wedding one day
This is the song that my daddy and I danced to at his wedding. He passed away today
I love you, daddy...I’ll always be your baby girl ❤️❤️❤️
Darkmoon_rises Omgosh I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs🙏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
This song ALWAYS makes me cry! Ever since I was 8 yrs old my dad would basically say he might die within the two years because of his health problems. He still has those problems, and I pray everyday that he lives another year, and while he lives a better lifestyle now... those problems haven’t gotten any better. This has made me veerrryyy sensitive to “dad loves his daughter song” or “dad dies/something really emotional happens
in a movie. My mom has moved me away from him, and I only get to see him during summer break, I’m definitely attached to my dad.
My dad has came to terms with it a very long time ago, and he’s just grateful he’s alive now. I’ve come to terms with it more than when I was younger, but jeeez this song never fails to make me cry at “Walk down the aisle Daddy, Daddy don’t cry!” if I haven’t already. My dad knows this, but he still plays the song every now and then when I come over. He likes these types of songs too much...
my daddy would always sing this to me when i was a little girl. really really missing that right about now.
This is the longest I’ve ever gone without seeing my dad and I put this song on as a joke for a game and suddenly I’m tearing up wishing I could see him again
I know I wasn't the best daughter but I sure did love my step dad he was my hero and still is. I remember him tucking me into bed kissing me on the forehead and him telling me he loved me when I was a little girl. He passed away March this year. 7 months tomorrow you will have been gone, I don't know how I do it dad but every day I smile and laugh and push on for you! I love you so much. I will never forget the hero you were!❤️❤️
I hope thing get easier for you but you will never forget him
So so glad you had someone close to you! My Dad was always my Hero! Love is so special, from anyone who is there for you! God Bless you!
hi there
sorry for your loss
My step dad was my dad. I miss him so much. It don't take biological to be a daddy. I love you so much daddy.😘😍
Miss my Dad so very much! He was my anchor, and after Mom passed he was always there for me! Been gone 12 years!
At my daddy daughter dance we danced to this song and I cried. My dad had cancer for 20 years and was always in the hospital and I would pray for him every night and he would kiss my on my head. He is a survivor. Love you daddy
Hi I'm Gracyn and me and my dad listened to this at our dance too! It says Jason because this is my dad's iPad
Mine too! Just today out final dance was to this song!
I know you sent this from heaven. I love you Dad!!!😘
This was me and my daddy's song
I'm a guy...I dont have a dad in my life I got a mom and a grandmother and evertime I hear this song it reminds me of just how much they love me... I really love this song!
Damn onions stop making me cry
This song literally brought tears to my eyes and I still listen to it in 2016
so do I
I still listen in 2017 going into 2018
Tragic Blake it's 2018 now and still listening😁
I listen to it in 2018
My dad passed away in March of this year and it breaks my heart because this was our song. I wish I had 5 more minutes to say i love him and how much he taught me. I know about cars and everything that a son should know, but i enjoyed watching my dad work on cars or anything that got me oily. I love you dad 1959-2023
"Butterfly Kisses" is a song written by Bob Carlisle and Randy Thomas from Carlisle's third studio album Butterfly Kisses (Shades of Grace).[1] The song was written for his daughter Brooke's 16th birthday.[2] Carlisle also wrote a journal entitled Butterfly Kisses for fathers and their daughters. There have been many cover versions of the song including Raybon Brothers, Jeff Carson, Westlife and Cliff Richard.
Tiarni is absolutely correct. This is so not Bob Dylan, it is Bob Carlisle
This song helps me get thro things without my dad.... sometimes it makes me cry and its hard without him... R.I.P daddy :(
Same with my grandfather. I miss him. My mom listens to this song because this is the song she danced to with her father (who is my grandfather)R.I.P.. This song helps my mom through things too i'm sure. It's hard on my mom cause her father's last breathes were in her arms. My grandfather died peacefully in my mom's arms in the hospital.
i know how you feel. God bless you and may God be with you! Keep smiling and thank God for the moments you got to spend with him. Not all the moments you didn't get to spend with him.
+ Lucy Gaid thank you I like to know that its not just me who is going thro hard times.... It makes me have hope in me and others...Thank you
Skyla Lucas Anytime my name's Anna by the way, glad to lift the burden a little bit.
:D
I just found out I may be a father to a little girl I played this song and broke down I really hope to see her and play this song while I hold her close to me. Never take a child for granted because their love will be unconditional
My mom cries every time she listens to it. I’ve moved away from my hometown last year and mama is never ready. Such a sweet song
Truly missing my dad as I’m planning my wedding this was supposed to be the song we danced together. Oh god knows how much I miss him 😭 I miss you daddy your wisdom and your advice always helped me in life
my dad send my this, my parents got divorced, i’m only see him once a week. im not crying, my eyes are sweating 🥺
this song makes me cry everytime because my dad is in new york i havent seen him in forever!
This song is so special to me. Such a special time with our daughter. She’s never forgotten it.
This song helped me sleep when i was a baby and it still makes me cry because my dad played it when i was sad
These songs make me emotional .. my father was physically and verbally abusive towards me and when it came to giving me up for my dad to adopt me he gladly gave me up..... but now he has another child and he's going through a divorce and he's trying to keep his kid... it just hurts knowing he gave me up so easily and he's not giving his son up like he did me... but I got a good dad out of it but still hurts
Cocozin saying a prayer for you take care
I understand.. my father was very emotionally physically abusive to me and my mother not so much my other siblings but he now lives in Toronto (canada) and left my mom and the 5 kids he had with her... but tbh I'm happy hes gone we are better now that hes gone but it still hurts...
@Brenton Boutin God yeah right God doesnt exist.. I believed in God but I stopped believing because why would "God" put me through hell and kill my stepfather who was the closest thing I had to a dad and give my mom cancer ? Shes all I have left if this cancer kills her I'm going with her I cant live in a world without her she was there when my dad left me she was always there for me and my siblings there is no "God" because if there was why would there still be evil in this world ? If he is more powerful then the devil why cant he stop his evil? Dont tell me God put me through hell because he knew I was "strong" enough to get through it because that's bullshit
@Brenton Boutin all I wanted was to believe that there was a God and that my dad would change.. I wanted to play this at my wedding when I'm older for the father daughter dance but he doesnt deserve to even be at my wedding.. all I wanted was to have a good dad who loved me..
I know tht feeling all to well.. my test tube parents had me for a rich aunt.. then as she went to pay for my birth bitches tubes to be tied as part of deal, instead of putting her name on certificate as my mom... they put thier names so they could use mt to get more $$ outta her... but my dad went to prison,my aunt soo loved me but bc she wasn't my mom as they said my so called 1 used to tell me growing up wht a looser I was an mistake, by 8 she put me out called me as run away jst to save her for when i was found dead she said, now she loved her other 2.... but me... I've never been allowed a life or a family bc of those 2. So when I had my bbys I've givien them soo much love, positivity tht they are something very special yes it's killed me some wht inside & made me even more empty on alot of things,but my kids are 311,25,24,& 19 & I am 43, I see how they turned out.. & here them praise & thank me for all tht they are an all tht I am to them... I cry & when it comes to songs an movies with real families, real loving parents.. I jst cannot make my-self watch or listen around them bc of jst how horrible I cry an feel.
my dad just passed away a few weeks ago. and this was his song to me. it's so hard to listen to this song. 😔 I just turned 16 a few weeks before he died, and so I'll never see him in the seats when I graduate high school next year, when I graduate college, he won't be there to walk me down the isle when I get married, he won't be there when I have my first child. just listening to this song brang back so many good memories of us. I'll keep this song treasured in my heart for as long as I shall live.
I'm here for you
Omg I so sorry your dad is here in my prays I wish u all the best
+chloe clark I am really sorry. He will be watching in heaven. I am sure he would be most proud of you if you stay successful and strong!
good comment
You may not see him, but if you believe, it is amazing how miracles happen, a peaceful breeze, a bird, a sound, a sense so clear...I "believe" your Dad will be there to see you through all life's experiences.
This definitely brings tears to this father's eyes. It gives me a clear picture of my baby girls future. I dedicate this to my little rose
My x took my daughter away from me & moved to another provencebefore she was born, i fought long and hard, but never won.. i would travel 9 houres once a month to see her, i was only allowed to see her 4 hours at a time, i would leave at 2am to get there by 11am/12pm.. i would have to have her home by 4pm!! then the long heartbreaking trip home. one day when she was 4, i was on the way home from her, i heard this song for the 1st time.. & i had to pull over to the side of the road becuse i could not hold back my tears anymore. i'm not ashamed to say i cried long and hard! when i was able to compose myself i continued to take the long sad trip home, i later found this song, and played it when ever i left her, be it for comfort or pain.. i just had to hear it.. at the age of 5 1/2 her mother had a trip planed & had no one to take care of my daughter, and finnally gave in to me taking her for the week, i was so excited, well..( do to car issues ;) ..) i was able to keep her for a month, and one day i played her this song.. and you can see a light go off in her eyes as she truly understood the words & meaning to this song. finally the time had come to take her home :( just before we got there, she asked me to play her song. what made it more meaningful..& yes heartbreaking was she sang along with the song & she cried.. my heart was in so much pain as i come to realised that i was not the only one feeling the pain of us not being together.
This little 5 year old angel was filled with as much love for me as I was for her! well everytime we seen each other after that, she would ask for her song on the way home to her mothers, she is now 12 and i see her when allowed,now with longer periods apart! it's been over a year now..and there is no word for the pain i feel ! my emails & phone calls go unanswered. and i believe i lost my battle for my little one. I see & hear stories about deadbeat fathers.. but i am not one.. yet i have no rights! i fear the next time my daughter sees me, if when i'm laid to rest! :( my laughs are hallow, my smile painted on. my head hangs low and my heart & soul is so empty without her. I love & miss you endless Logan.
oh wow i wept at ur story. It's a little similar to mine, except my daughter is now 24, lives independently, and I see her several times a year. But from the age of 2, I had her nearly half the time. I cannot imagine your pain. People say "time heals all wounds" - but I'm betting you know that it doesn't. This song still makes me cry today! I sure hope you will be reunited with your precious daughter when she's old enough to make her own decisions. I hope she remembers how much you love her, and she remembers this song.
@@markwilliams4489 Thank you Mark
12 years later and this song still makes me cry. I cry a little harder now though because I lost my dad last year in 2018.
I lost mine the same year. Hugs to you.
My dad use to play this song to me when I was little he passed away 15 years ago
Makes me cry when I hear this song
New father here and I played this when I first seen my little girl at ultrasound. Couldn't help but break down in tears looking at her
And hearing this
I know the feeling very well. My daughter is almost 4 and the love just keeps getting stronger.
This was my daddy-daughter dance song at my wedding, both my dad and I were bawling
I'm a Guy but my dad passed away in 2006 on Christmas day. I miss him man and I cry everyday. The pain feels like it was yesterday.. the hardest thing I've faced was turning 18 without my dad around. For I am going to be deployed in two years and I wish he could be here for that. I got to go, in crying. Sorry guys..
I can completely relate. My dad passed away two years ago when I was 17 on my mom's birthday. It hurts.
Hang in there, Kevin. It's hard losing a loved one, but trust in God and His bigger plans. Your dad is very proud of you no doubt, and you have an amazing guardian angel not only for your deployment, but every day before and after that. Stay strong and always look up. I'm praying for you!
I feel you... My dad died that same year just a bit before Thanksgiving when I was 17. This song still makes me cry, too. It hurts knowing he won't be there someday to walk me down the aisle...
Kevin Evans, May the LORD be your father and your light. He will always take care of you and love you. I will be praying for you.
Stay safe Kevin God Bless you and thanks for your service to our country. Make it home safe okay?
I'm not even a dad and this song hits me in the feels
BMXcrasher 32 same:'(
It's a great song so not even surprised this hit you in your heart
Gay?
BMXcrasher 32 me to and I am a daughter and I can't get through the first minute without tearing up
Who cares? If you love this song, love it!
This was my song with my dad. I wanted to dance with him at my wedding but he passsd away 12/30/21. And I miss him more than anything. But I know he’s watching over me and my son and I know how proud he is of me, for getting sober and finding the one man who treats me like a queen and loves me almost as much as he did. I love you daddy ❤️
Bible verses:
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Blessed are the mourn for they shall be comforted.
I love this song and am looking at wedding songs now for my daughter..known this song for years. I just thought I'd metion it's actually Bob Carlisle singing..thanks for sharing..
learned this song from my mom actually. didnt grow up with my dad, but she loved bob dillan. still makes me remember childhood times when she'd give me butterfly kisses
Father's day 2019 I sitting here listening to this as my 18 year old daughter is in her room doing her own thing and I played this song many times and cry every time as I raised her on my own and it wasn't easy I just hope im around ro see her get married. 😢
Man my daughter is only 5 and I'm already dreading her growing up on me. I can't imagine 18!
My daughter is great she never gave problem.I to raise her on my own, butt you know She"ll come to you first If she has problems.
Our mother used to always give us butterfly kisses and always plays this song. I know it's not our father(I say 'our' because I'm a twin)but it still means a lot to me. Our mother isn't dead or anything, but she's been in and out of rehab and she doesn't live with us anymore. I miss her being with us, living with us, and I always will. I love her so so so much. To the moon and back. This song will forever have a special place in my heart.
My daddy and I danced to the instrumental version of this at his second wedding.. He passed away 2 days shy of a month after my 10th birthday, 6 days before christmas.. I was in the car a few months after his death and this song came on my moms ipod and I remembered my daddys wedding.. As the song was playing I realized that there was someone singing, I only thought there was an instrumental version.. As I was listening to the lyrics and began crying.. I am now 18 years old turning 19 this year.. I didn't have my father here when I graduated from 5th grade, entered middle school, graduated from middle school and entered high school.. He wasn't there to see me go to my first homecoming, to see me go on my first date, go to my first prom, wasn't there for my 16th birthday nor my 18th.. He won't be there when I graduate this year and enter college, won't be there when I get married, to see his first grandchild, to see me succeed and become something amazing.. At least he won't physically see it and be there.. But he will forever be in my heart and his grandkids will be told how he'd be an amazing grandfather.. I do miss you daddy.. so much..
+Brook Mannila-Andrus very sorry and sad to hear you... i'm 100% sure he was there all along. just close your eyes and smile because he's right there!
my dad was never a dad I'm 11 now my mom and him are devocied and I'm sorry that had to be rough
+Brook Mannila-Andrus I am so sorry, I don't know what it's like to have no dad, my real dad left when I was 2 and I am 13 this year. my mum is getting married so I will have a step dad but I will never know what its like. and you were so young, its unimaginable. I am really so sorry for you loss. RIP xxoxo
i know how you feel i did not even get to my father and i am 12 years old know
update: right before I put in make-up to go to my graduation Thursday June 9th, my mom had me come into her room and gave me a necklace that says "dad forever in my heart".. it's a heart shaped necklace with his ashes in it so he could be with me as I graduated.. it made me cry it made me sad but I was thankful because then I wouldn't have had to wear his jacket my grandmother gave me (I was planning on wearing his marine jacket as it was the only thing I had at the time) and become more hot than I already was going to (I live in vegas it was 106° that day) and he was closer to my heart than he would've been with the jacket also with the necklace the teachers wouldn't make me take it off like they would have with the jacket...
My father passed when I was 9, we used to do all the things described in the first verse, butterfly kisses were a staple in our home and we cherished them like others cherish pinky promises. My mother isn’t present in my life and was always in and out, but she was stable for a few years once. She told me she remembered him listening to this song when I was a little girl, and it would always remind her of him and how much he loved being my dad.
I miss him endlessly, September 6th was his 13th anniversary. I’m 22 now, and question so much because he won’t be present to see me evolve. I truly hope he is proud of me.
Please believe he is so very proud of you. He's not really gone. He's still with you just in another form.
I just turned 18 a few days ago, and I hadn't heard this song in a long time. But as I sat in bed listening to it, thinking for just random reasons, about the song I'm going to use as my Father Daughter dance when I get married(I don't even have a boyfriend right now) I know for a fact that this is the one I want! Couldn't have summed up my relationship with my dad better. I haven't always been the best daughter I could be, but he hasn't always been the best dad, but we've both tried, and that's all I can ask for. I can honestly say I miss those hugs every morning, I still get them some mornings, and butterfly kisses at night.
I love this I'm so thankful to have my stepdad I'm gonna be 16 in 4 months and I'm so thankful he came in when he didnt have to I love him with all my heart he helps me so much
