There Never Was A Time

There was a time we'd sit in the backyard
 'Cause the house would get so hot
 From the summer sun, there was no way of sleepin'
 And you'd play your old guitar
 We'd fight mosquitos and enjoyed your backyard concerts
 For we had no television
 We'd just begun our life as man and wife and hardships then
 Could scarcely scare us into quittin'
 Things were far from bein' fine
 We often dined upon a dime
 But there never was a time we didn't love
 That Christmas brought our saddest day
 When your pride gave way, as you told the kids
 There'd be no gifts, 'cause we were broke
 Though their little tears of grief
 Were so hard to see, It didn't 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 couldn't pay
 They came and took our car away
 But there never was a time we didn't love
 Now there's an easy chair for my back
 A satin pillow for your 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 we spend a dollar more than we can spare
 No wonder, in our prayers
 We've thanked the man upstairs, who led us
 Through the years of rearin' kids and payin' bills
 And I think He guided us, not because we were smart
 But just because, there never was a time we didn't love
 No, there never was a time never was a time
 Never was a time
 Never was a time we didn't love
