A Love Without End Lyrics - Singles - 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"
