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'd rehearsed |
|
Then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waitin' for the worst |
|
|
|
And he said |
|
Let me tell you a secret about a father's love |
|
A secret that my daddy said was just between us |
|
He said daddies don't just love their children every now and then |
|
It's a love without end, amen |
|
It's a love without end, amen |
|
|
|
When I became a father in the spring of eighty one |
|
There was no doubt that stubborn 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 passed it on to him |
|
|
|
And I said |
|
Let me tell you a secret about a father's love |
|
A secret that my daddy said was just between us |
|
He said daddies don't just love their children every now and then |
|
It's a love without end, amen |
|
It's a love without end, amen |
|
|
|
|
|
Last night I dreamed I'd died and stood outside those pearly gates |
|
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake |
|
If they know half the things I've done, they'll never let me in |
|
Then 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 daddy said was just between us |
|
He said daddies don't just love their children every now and then |
|
It's a love without end, amen |
|
It's a love without end, amen |
