Love without end, amen lyrics

Artist  : George strait 
Song : Love without end, amen
 
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.

Chorus:
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
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.

Repeat chorus:

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.

Repeat chorus
