Happy Father's Day: George Strait's "Love without end, amen"

George Strait............"Love without end, amen"

"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 tremblin' knees and waitin' 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 '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 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
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

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
Then somewhere from the other side, I heard these words again
And they said......."

Happy Fathers' Day: "Color him father" by The Winstons

We take a moment today to salute all of the fathers, uncles and grandfathers on this very special day.

This is one of my favorite "father" songs by The Winstons:

"There's a man at my house, He's so big an' strong.
He goes to work each day, An' he stays all day long.
He comes home each night, Lookin' tired an' beat.
He sits down at the dinner table, An' has a bite to eat.
Never a frown, always a smile. When he says to me, "How's my chil'?"
I say that, "I've been studying hard,
All day in school, Tryin' very hard to understand,
The golden rule."

Think I'll color this man father.(Color him father.)
I think I'll color him love. (Color him love.)
Said, I'm gonna color him father.(Color him father.)
I think I'll color the man love. Yes I will.
(Color him lo-hove.)

He says, "Education is the thing, If you want to compete.
Because without it son, Life ain't very sweet."
I love this man, An' I don't know why.
Except I'll need his strength, Till the day that I die.
My mother loves him an' I can tell.
By the way she looks at him, When he holds my little sister, Nell.
I heard her say just the other day, That if it hadn't 'av been for him,
She couldn't have found her way.

I Think I'll color him father. (Color him father.)
I'm gonna color him love. (Color him love.)
I've got to color him father. (Color him father.)
I think I'll color this man love. (Color him lo-hove.)

Our real old man, He got kille' in the war.
An' she knows she an' seven kids, Couldn't of got very far.
She said she thought that, She could never love again.
An' then there he stood, With that big, wide grin.
He married my mother, An' he took us in.
An' now we belong to the man,
With that big wide grin.

I got to color this man father. (Color him father.)
I'm gonna color him love. (Color him love.)
I've to color him father. (Color him father.)
I believe I'll color this man love. (Color him lo-hove.)

He's just been so good to me. (Color him father.)
I feel I've got to have to color him love. (Color him love.)
I'm gonna color him father. (Color him father.)
I've got to color this man love. (Color him loooove.)

He's just been so good.(Color him father.)
Yeah, I think I'll color him love. (Color him love.)
I'm goin' to color him father. (Color him father...)"

Judy Collins' "My father" is a great song



Judy Collins is one of my favorite folk singers. Her hits include "Both sides now", "Someday soon" and "Send in the clowns". I love her versions of "Amazing Grace" and "Turn turn turn".

 My favorite song is "My father".

Later she said this about her father:
"I always sang when I was little and my father, who was a great influence on me, also had a wonderful voice.
He and my mother really encouraged me to sing and play the piano.
They were always very supportive."
Here is the song:
