Love Without End, Amen

   D                                        G            D
I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
                                             G             A
Cause fighting was against the rules and it didn't matter why
      G              A               D               G
When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed
  D                                    A              D
Then stood there almost trembling and waited for the worst


** Refrain **

                   D                        G                D
He (I, they) said let me tell you a secret about a father's love
                                 G            A
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
         G                  A                   D             G
You see daddy's don't just love their children every now and then
        D            A     D                        A     D
It's a love without end, amen  It's a love without end, amen


   (Chords same as above)
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


Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake
If they knew half the things I've done they'll never let me in
Then a somewhere from the other side and I heard these words again
