LOVE WITHOUT END, AMEN
I got sent home from school one day
with a shiner on my eye,
Fightin' was against the rules
and it didn't matter why,
When dad got home I told that story
just like I rehearsed,
Then stood there almost trembling
and waited for the worst.
~*~
And he said let me tell you a secret
about a father's love,
A secret that my that my daddy said
was just between us,
He said, daddy's don't just love their children
every now and then,
Its a love without end, Amen,
Its a love without end, Amen.

When I became a father in the spring of '81
There was no doubt that stubourn boy
was just like my father's son
And when I thought my patience
had been tested to the end
I took my daddy's secret
and I passed it on to him
~*~
And I said let me tell you a secret
about a father's love,
A secret that my that my daddy said
was just between us,
I said, daddy's don't just love their children
every now and then,
Its a love without end, Amen,
Its a love without end, Amen.

Last night I dreamed I died
and stood outside those pearly gates,
When suddenly I realized
there must be some mistake,
If they know half the things I done
they'll never let me in,
Then from somewhere from the other side
I heard these words again,
And they said...
~*~
Let me tell you a secret about a father's love,
A secret that my that my daddy said
was just between us,
You see, daddy's don't just love their children
every now and then
Its a love without end, Amen.
Its a love without end, Amen.
