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. And then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waited 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 ever 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 I 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 ever 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. And then somewhere from the other side I heard these 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." They said, "Daddies don't just love their children ever now and then It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen."
