Jeannie C. Riley - There Never Was A Time Lyrics
There was a time we'd sit in the backyard'Cause the house would get so-o hotFrom the summer sun there was no way of sleepin'And you'd play your old guitarWe'd fight mosquitos and enjoyYour backyard concert for we had no televisionWe'd just begun our life as man and wifeAnd hardships thenCould scaresely scare us into quittin'Things were far from bein' fineWe often dined upon a dimeBut there never was a time we didn't loveAnd that Christmas brought our saddest dayWhen your pride gave way as you told the kidsThere'd be no gifts 'cause we were brokeAnd though their little tears of griefWere so hard to see, it didn't hurt meLike the lump I knew was in your throatIt was then with arms entwinedWe both broke down and criedFor it seemed like nothin' good would ever comeThe doctor bills we couldn't payThey came and took our car awayBut there never was a time we didn't loveNow there's an easy chair for my backA satin pillo' for my headAnd the kids are wild about their brand new carsDad and I can order steakWith all the trimmin's and not worryIf we've spent a dollar more than we can spareNo wonder in our prayersWe thank the man upstairs who led us throughThe years of rearin' kids and payin' billsAnd I think he guided usNot because we were smartBut just because there never was a time we didn't loveNo there never was a time, never was a timeThere never was a time we didn't loveOh there never was a time, never was a timeThere never was a time we didn't love (fade)
