Love Without End - George Strait

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 waited for the worst 

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 '81 
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

I said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love 
A secret that my daddy said was just between us" 
I 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 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 those words again 

They said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love 
A secret that my daddy said was just between us 
You see, 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"
