There Never Was a Time Lyrics

(Myra Smith - Margaret Lewis)
Jeannie C. Riley

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 hard ships then could scaresly 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 a-way you told the kids
There'd be no gifts 'cause we were broke
Though their little tears of grief was so hard to seePatsy Cline - There Never Was a Time - http://motolyrics.com/patsy-cline/there-never-was-a-time-lyrics.html
It didn't hurt me like the love 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 rearin' kids and payin' bills
And I think he guide's 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...
