This was gospel singer Bob Carlisle's only number one hit and I read somewhere when it first hit the airwaves that people were calling up radio stations in US asking about the song and some even pulled over by the road to listen and yeah cried.
What's a butterfly kiss you ask? "A butterfly kiss happens when you get your eyelashes up against some else's bare skin, so close that when you blink, your eyelashes caress the other person's skin." Tickles too.
The song brought tears to my eyes too when I heard it back in '97 mainly coz I felt we were never going to have a child of our own. And now that we have our own baby girl the song is even more relevant! I chanced upon Cliff Richard's (another fave singer of mine) version today and it is cool. Cliffy sings it like he is a super daddy. Bet he would make a great dad!
Butterfly Kisses has gone on and become a favorite at weddings. Apparently the father of the bride would either sing it or wing it. Or at least dance with their daughter to it!
Bob Carlisle Cliff's version If the vids get pulled just search YouTube
"Hugs in the morning and Butterfly Kisses at night"
