"Love Without End, Amen" is a single by American country music singer George Strait. The lead-off single from his CD, Livin' It Up, the song spent five weeks at Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart, giving Strait his first multi-week No. 1, as his last eighteen Number Ones had only spent one week at the top.

Content

The song is a mid-tempo whose narrator is a man who was sent home one day for fighting, and he tells his father what had happened, and his father tells him a secret:

"Let me tell you a secret about a father's love,
A secret that my daddy said was just between us,
You see, daddies don't just love their children every now and then,
It's a love without end, Amen."

In the second verse, the narrator has now become a father, he had no doubt that his son was "just like [his] father's son", and he passes his father's secret on to his son.
