Love Without End testo

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"
