George Strait - A Fathers Love lyrics

I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye Fighting 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 trembling knees and waited 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 It's 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 I pa**ed it on to him And I said, Let me tell you a secret, about a fathers love A secret that my daddy said was just between us I said daddies dont just love their children every now and then It's 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 stuff I done theyll 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 fathers love A secret that my daddy said was just between us You see daddies dont just love their children every now and then It's a love without end, amen, its a love without end, amen
