Released in 1990, this ballad transcended the charts to become a timeless anthem that resonates deeply with anyone who’s ever navigated the complexities of family relationships.
Background
Love Without End, Amen is a masterclass in storytelling. It unfolds through the eyes of a man reflecting on three distinct chapters in his life, all connected by the enduring bond of fatherhood.
The first verse paints a vivid picture of a young boy, filled with the fear of punishment after getting into a fight at school. He stands trembling before his father, bracing himself for the inevitable consequence.
This pivotal moment sets the stage for the song’s core message. Instead of immediate discipline, the father, with a patient voice, shares a profound secret passed down through generations: “Daddies don’t just love their children every now and then. It’s a love without end, amen.“
These simple yet powerful words offer a profound comfort to the young boy, assuring him of his father’s unwavering love despite his shortcomings.

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Well here we sit at a table for twoBut bottle there’s just me and youShe loved me so but I loved her so wrongI gave her too much of too little too longSo tell me bottle are the things I hear trueThat all the answers are in the bottle of youI need your help this memory’s so strongI gave her too much of too little too longSometimes a man can get lost in a world of his ownHe’ll neglect his real world who’s waiting at homeA woman needs her man’s love to lean onI gave her too much of too little too long
