歌词
作词 : Barker
作曲 : Aaron Barker
I got sent home from school
one day with a shiner on my eye
Fightin was against the rules and
it didnt matter why
When dad got home I told that story
just like Id rehearsed
Then stood there on those tremblin knees
and waitin for the worst
And he said...
Let me tell you a secret about a fathers love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
He said daddies dont just love
their children every now and then
Its a love without end, amen
Its 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 fathers son
And when I thought my patience
had been tested to the end
I took my daddys secret and passed it on to him
I said...
Let me tell you a secret about a fathers love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
He said daddies dont just love
their children every now and then
Its a love without end, amen
Its a love without end, amen
Last night I dreamed Id died and stood
outside those pearly gates
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake
If they know half the things Ive done
theyll never let me in
Then somewhere from the other side
I heard these words again
Let me tell you a secret about a fathers love
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
He said daddies dont just love
their children every now and then
Its a love without end, amen
Its a love without end, amen
