George Strait -- a Father's Love.

Lyrics:
I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye.
Fighting 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 trembling 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 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 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 I'd died and stood outside those Pearly Gates.
When suddenly I realized, there must be some mistake.
If they knew half the things I'd done they'd never let me in.
Then somewhere from the other side, I heard these words again:

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 dont just love their children every now and then.
It's a love without end, Amen.
It's a love without end, Amen.
