一個即將把女兒嫁給別人的父親的心聲:
這首歌曾獲第四十屆格萊美最佳鄉村歌曲獎,在美國久負盛名。
據說:邊開車邊聽此歌的聽眾通常情不自禁地把車子停到路邊,
泣不成聲……
現在,這首歌已經成為美國婚禮上必放的歌曲。
There's two things I know for sure.She was sent here from heaven,
and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night, she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
And I thank God for all the joy in my life,
Oh, but most of all, for...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk beside the pony, daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.
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."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.
All the precious time ... Like the wind, the years go by
Precious butterfly ... Spread your wings and fly
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room just staring at her,
she asked me what I'm thinking, and I said "I'm not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl." Then she leaned over... and gave
me...
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there sticking little flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time"
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?" "Daddy, don't cry."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning, and butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more. Man, this is what love is.
I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...
這是一首很多女孩子都會掉眼淚的歌,一個父親的心聲……
有兩件事情我很確定
她是天堂送來的禮物,她是爸爸的小姑娘
晚上我跪在她的床邊,我閉上眼睛聽她和耶穌說話時
我也不得不向上帝感恩,賜我如此幸福
其中最重要的就是——
每晚禱告後,她都會給我蝴蝶一樣的親吻
她的頭髮上沾滿了白色的小花
"爸爸,你就在馬駒邊上別離開,這是我第一次騎馬。"
"爸爸,我知道這個蛋糕看上去很滑稽,但是我盡力了喲。"
哦,無論我做錯過什麼,我一定也做了一些好事
才配在每個清晨得到她的擁抱,每個夜晚得到蝴蝶的親吻
今天她十六歲了
她一天比一天長得更像她媽媽
一半是個女人,一半是個女孩
絲帶和卷髮變成了香水和化妝品
在大千世界中展翅欲飛
然而我仍記得……
晚禱告後,她都會給我蝴蝶一樣的親吻
她的頭髮上沾滿了白色的小花
"爸爸,你知道我有多麼愛你,如果你不介意
這次我就只親吻一下你的臉頰吧"
哦,無論我做錯過什麼,我一定也做了一些好事
才配在每個清晨得到她的擁抱,每個夜晚得到蝴蝶的親吻
所有珍貴的時光...像風一樣逝去
我親愛? 漱p蝴蝶... 展翅而飛吧
今天她要改掉自己的姓了
她要許下一個諾言,而我要將她送走
我站在新娘的房間看著她
她問我在想些什麼,我說"我也不知道,
只是覺得我失去自己的寶貝姑娘了." 她聽了就跑過來……
給了我一個蝴蝶的親吻
她的媽媽在她的發間沾上小花朵
"爸爸,陪我走過那條走道吧,時間差不多了"
"爸爸,你說我的結婚禮服好看麼?" "爸爸,別哭呀。"
哦,無論我做錯過什麼,我一定也做了一些好事
才配在每個清晨得到她的擁抱,每個夜晚得到蝴蝶的親吻
我無法向上帝要求更多,這就是愛了
我知道此時必須讓她離開,但我永遠都會記得
每個清晨的擁抱和每個夜晚蝴蝶的親吻……
美國抒情鄕村歌手Bob Carlisle在他女兒Brooke十六歲的生日前夕,
看著女兒長大成人了,不久就要遠走高飛了,感慨萬千而寫下了這首歌。
BOB以沉穩柔情的嗓音,伴以吉它委婉的合絃,深邃真情的唱出了偉大的父愛。
很感動的歌曲 !!
