butterfly kisses
Butterfly Kisses(蝴蝶之吻)是一首父亲为女儿写的歌，Butterfly Kiss是当大人和小孩以脸部亲昵地靠在一起时，其中一人的眼睫毛，随着眼睛的眨动，轻轻的刷拂在另外一人的脸颊上，或者是两个人额头面对面的凑在一起，双方的睫毛互相刷拂，那种感觉，就好像是轻柔的蝴蝶在“亲吻”着你。这首歌是美国抒情乡村歌手鲍勃.卡莱欧(Bob Carlisle)在他的女儿十六岁生日前夕，特别为女儿谱写的。卡莱欧在女儿生日前夕，突然惊觉女儿已经成长，不要再过多久，就即将就要远走高飞，离家去开创自己的人生。许多甜蜜的回忆，还有自己过去曾经错过、以及将来不会再拥有的机会，都浮现在他脑海，因此他萌生了这首歌的灵感。
这首歌发表于1998年，现已成为美国婚礼上的经典歌曲。
2006年，爱尔兰乐队Westlife在专辑The Love Album里收录了他们翻唱的Butterfly Kisses。
歌词及翻译：
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. quot;
i know the cake looks funny, daddy, but i sure tried. quot;
oh, with all that i've done wrong
i must have done something right
to deserve a hug every morning
and butterfly kisses at night.
sweet sixteen today
she's looking like her momma a little more every day
one part woman, the other part 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. quot;
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. quot;
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. quot;
does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy? quot;
daddy, don't cry. quot;
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
有两件事我很清楚
她来自天堂，她是我的小女孩
每晚，当我屈膝蹲在她的床边时
她都向耶稣祷告
我闭上眼睛
感谢上帝赐予我生活中的一切美好
但是，最重要的是…
蝴蝶之吻，在睡前祈祷之后
在她的头发里插上洁白的小花
“走在小木马边上，爸爸，这是我的第一段旅程”
“我知道蛋糕很好玩，爸爸，但是我真的尝过了”
对于那些我犯下的过错
我一定要做一些正确的事情来弥补
每天早上给你一个拥抱
每天晚上给你蝴蝶之吻
甜蜜的十六岁到来了
她一天天变得像他的妈妈了
有些地方还是孩子，有些地方已经成熟了
喷着香水画着妆
戴着丝巾出入在图书馆
在大千世界里
尝试着独自飞翔
但是我记得…
蝴蝶之吻，在睡前祈祷之后
在她的头发里插上洁白的小花
“你知道我又多爱你吗，爸爸，如果你不介意”
“现在，我只是想亲亲你的脸”
对于那些我犯下的过错
我一定要做一些正确的事情来弥补
每天早上给你一个拥抱
每天晚上给你蝴蝶之吻
这些宝贵的时光
就像风一样
一年一年过去了
珍贵的蝴蝶，展翅而飞
今天，她的名字就要改变（意思是今天她要结婚了）
她会做一个承诺
然后我必须离开她
站在卧室里看着她
她问我在想什么
我说我不知道
感觉就像丢失了我的小女孩一样
然后她斜下身子
然后给了我…
蝴蝶之吻，在她的妈妈的面前
在她的头发里插上洁白的小花
走在婚礼的走廊上
爸爸，时候到了
我的婚纱漂亮吗？
爸爸，不要哭了
对于那些我犯下的过错
我一定要做一些正确的事情来弥补
每天早上给你一个拥抱
每天晚上给你蝴蝶之吻
我不能再向上帝祈求太多
朋友，这就是爱
我知道我将要送她离开
当我总会记得
每天早上的拥抱
每天晚上的蝴蝶之吻
