每一次听《Butterfly Kiss》的时候都会忍不住眼中模糊。而第一次看着歌词听，更是忍不住潸然泪下。就好像那些开车时听着这首歌的美国人，总会情不自禁地将车停在路边，趴在方向盘上泣不成声。在美国，这是婚礼上的必播歌曲。看了歌评，蝴蝶之吻表示孩子亲吻父母时睫毛扑闪在脸上的触感。我不知道我听这首歌的时候是以怎样的身份来听。而且，如果换一个女人，没有如此沧桑深情的声音的人来唱，或许就不会如此感人至深了。其实我哭， 也不是没有原因的。特别喜欢其中两句：“虽然我做了不少错事，但一定也做对了某些事，才换来每晚的拥抱和亲吻。”“我不向老天要求更多，这就是爱。”

【Butterfly kiss】

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
But most of all, for...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair
"walk beside the pony daddy
Its 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."
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 l'm losing my baby girl."
Then she leaned over...and gave me...

Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
Stickin' little white 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 "
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...

歌评[转]：

所谓Butterfly Kiss,这可不是指蝴蝶飞过来亲吻哦，而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。原本他并没有想要发表，只想把歌曲保留作送给女儿的礼物，但是在好友们的鼓励之下，才决定推出录音。本歌将一个父亲对女儿的爱写得感人致极。《旧金山纪事》报曾报导，有边开车边听此歌的听众把车子停到路边，泣不成声……在这首歌曲里面，卡莱欧回忆起女儿小的时候，他经常陪着女儿做睡前的祷告，同时感谢着上帝赐给他这许多生命中的欢乐，特别是祈祷过后，父女两人亲密的“蝶吻”。女儿头一次骑马的时候，要求父亲陪在旁边的可爱表情；头一次下厨做蛋糕，成品的样子虽然不好看，却也是难忘的回忆。后来，女儿十六岁了，出落得越来越像母亲，也逐渐开始用香水和化妆品。不过，这个时候的女儿，已经不好意思再和从前一样，跟父亲靠得那么紧了，女儿说，“爸爸，你知道我还是一样的爱你，可是，假如你不介意，这次我想只亲吻你的脸颊。”他知道，女儿已经长大，即将离巢单飞。如今，他们来到了另外一个新的阶段：今天，女儿就要结婚了，他看着穿上礼服的女儿，心中无比的感慨，他是否就要永远失去女儿了呢？女儿强作镇定的安慰父亲，再度给他“蝶吻”，同时请爸爸不要哭，陪她走上圣坛，因为是时候了。回首过往、瞻望未来，他相信自己必定曾经做过一些好事，才配拥有女儿的爱，以及那些令人难忘的“蝶吻”。生命，就是这样，这就是爱，你还能要求什么呢？虽然他知道自己必须放手，但他将永远记得这些年来每个早晨的拥抱，还有那些“蝶吻”。 岁月会流逝，孩子们终将开始自己的生活，组建自己的家庭。但是父母和子女的爱将永远不会改变。
