I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
Cause fighting 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 almost trembling and waited for the worst
He (I, 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 daddy's don't just love their children every now and then
It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen
(Chords same as above)
