文本歌词

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
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
