There was a time Wed sit in the backyard cause the house would get so hot From the summer sun There was no way of sleeping And youd play your old guitar Wed fight mosquitos and enjoy You backyard concerts for we had no television Wed just begun our life As man and wife and hardships then Could scarcely scare us into quitting Things were far from being fine We often dined upon a dime But there never was a time we didnt love And that Christmas brought our saddest days When your pride gave way when you told the kids Thered be no gifts cause we were broke Though their little tears of grief were so hard to see It didnt hurt me Like the lump I knew was in your throat It was then with arms entwined We both broke down and cried For it seemed like nothing good would ever come The doctor bills we couldnt pay They came and took our car away But there never was a time we didnt love You might also likeNow theres an easy chair for my back A satin pillow for my head And the kids are wild about the brand new car You and I can order steak with all the trimmings and not worry If weve spent a dollar more than we can spare No wonder in our prayers Weve thanked the man upstairs who led us through The years of raising kids and paying bills And I think he guided us Not because we were smart but just because There never was a time we didnt love No there never was a time never was a time There never was a time we didnt love
