I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
F G
Cause fighting was against the rules and it didn't matter why
F G C F
When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed
C G C
Then stood there almost trembling and waited for the worst
** Refrain **
C F C
He (I, they) said let me tell you a secret about a father's love
F G
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
F G C F
You see daddy's don't just love their children every now and then
C G C G C
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
