Love Without End, Amen
by Wilburn & Wilburn

Album: Shoulders

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
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
And I 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

Last night I dreamed I'd 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
And they 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
Son, it's a love without end, amen
