Lyrics for Song: Love Without End, Amen
Lyrics for Album: Icon [2011]
(Aaron Baker)
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.''...
