Tekst piosenki:
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 trembling' 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 eighty-one
There was no doubt that stubborn boy
Was just like my father's son
And when I thought my patience
Had been tested on 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 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
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
