蝴蝶之吻(Butterfly Kiss)

Butterfly Kiss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……
鲍勃以沉稳柔情的嗓音，伴以吉他委婉的和弦，深邃真情地唱出了蕴藏在他内心深处的伟大的父爱。歌中唱到一个父亲对女儿从小到大成长过程中的许多美好时光的回忆，他回忆起第一次带女儿去骑马.…….回忆起第一次女儿给他做蛋糕.…….让他最难忘最感动的就是每天晚上睡觉前给女儿的‘蝴蝶之吻’。同时他也想到将来女儿结婚时的情景。当他想到女儿婚礼后就要改为夫姓；在婚礼上，当他深情地望着女儿的时候，女儿问爸爸在想什么，爸爸无限感伤地说，‘我不知道，我只是感到我将从此失去我的宝贝女儿’.…….；最后女儿给了爸爸一个‘蝴蝶之吻’，就象小时候爸爸吻她那样.…….女儿说，‘爸爸，你别哭’.…….
这是1997年美国最流行的乡村歌曲，现在已经成为美国人婚礼上必不可少的经典歌曲。
生命，就是这样，这就是爱，还能要求什么呢？虽然在儿女的成长过程中，父母的爱不是占有而是放手，必须放手。但每个父母都会永远记得这些年来每个早晨的拥抱，还有那些“蝶吻”。
岁月流逝，孩子终将开始自己的生活，飞向自己的蓝天，放飞是一个必然的选择 。
我们会永远的祝福他们！
蝴蝶之吻(Butterfly Kisses)歌词
Butterfly Kisses
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...
