There Never Was a Time - Jeannie C. Riley[00:00:00]
There was a time we'd sit in the backyard[00:00:04]
'Cause the house would get so hot[00:00:08]
From the summer sun there was no way of sleepin'[00:00:10]
And you'd play your old guitar we'd fight mosquitos[00:00:15]
And enjoy you backyard concerts for we had no television[00:00:19]
We'd just begun our life as man and wife[00:00:27]
And hardships then could scarcely scare us into quittin'[00:00:30]
Things were far from bein' fine we often dined upon a dime[00:00:37]
But there never was a time we didn't love[00:00:43]
And that Christmas brought our saddest days[00:00:51]
When your pride gave way when you told the kids[00:00:54]
There'd be no gifts 'cause we were broke[00:00:57]
And Though their little tears of grief were so hard to see[00:01:01]
It didn't hurt me like the lump I knew was in your throat[00:01:06]
It was then with arms entwined we both broke down and cried[00:01:12]
For it seemed like nothing good would ever come[00:01:18]
The doctor bills we couldn't pay, they came and took our car away[00:01:23]
But there never was a time we didn't love[00:01:29]
Now there's an easy chair for my back a satin pillow for my head[00:01:37]
And the kids are wild about the brand new car[00:01:42]
You and I can order steak with all the trimmings[00:01:48]
And not worry if we've spent a dollar more than we can spare[00:01:52]
No wonder in our prayers we've thanked the man upstairs[00:01:58]
Who led us through the years of raisin' kids and payin' bills[00:02:02]
And I think he guided us not because we were smart[00:02:09]
But just because there never was a time we didn't love[00:02:13]
No there never was a time, never was a time[00:02:19]
There never was a time we didn't love[00:02:25]
No there never was a time, never was a time[00:02:30]
There never was a time[00:02:36]
