george strait - 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 didnt matter why

When dad got home I told that story

just like Id rehearsed

Then stood there on those tremblin knees

and waitin for the worst

And he said...

Let me tell you a secret about a fathers love

A secret that my daddy said was just between us

He said daddies dont 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 stubborn boy

was just like my fathers son

And when I thought my patience

had been tested to the end

I took my daddys secret and passed it on to him

I said...

Let me tell you a secret about a fathers love

A secret that my daddy said was just between us

He said daddies dont just love

their children every now and then

Its a love without end, amen

Its a love without end, amen

Last night I dreamed Id died and stood

outside those pearly gates

When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake

If they know half the things Ive done

theyll never let me in

Then somewhere from the other side

I heard these words again

Let me tell you a secret about a fathers love

A secret that my daddy said was just between us

He said daddies dont just love

their children every now and then

Its a love without end, amen

Its a love without end,
