Jeannie C Riley There Never Was A Time Lyrics

There Never Was A Time Lyrics

There was a time we'd sit in the backyard

'Cause the house would get so-o
hot

From the summer sun there was no way of sleepin'

And you'd play
your old guitar

We'd fight mosquitos and enjoy

Your backyard concert
for we had no television



We'd just begun our life as man and
wife

And hardships then

Could scaresely 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



And 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

And 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 nothin' 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 pillo' for my head

And the kids are wild
about their brand new cars

Dad and I can order steak 

With all the
trimmin's and not worry

If we've spent a dollar more than we can spare



No wonder in our prayers

We thank 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

There never was a time we didn't love

Oh there never was a
time, never was a time

There never was a time we didn't love   (fade)
