There Never Was A Time Lyrics

Artist: Jeannie C. Riley
Album: Greatest Hits

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 enjoy
You 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

And that Christmas brought our saddest days
When your pride gave way when 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 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 we've spent 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 raisin' 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 timethere never was a time we didn't love
