[ Bobby ]

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'

[ Skeeter ]

And you'd play your old guitar we'd fight mosquitos and enjoy

Your backyard concerts for we had no television

[ Both ]

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

There never was a time we didn't love

[ Skeeter ]

That Christmas brought our saddest days 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

[ Both ]

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

There never was a time we didn't love

[ Bobby ]

Now there's an easy chair for my back and satin pillows for your head

And the kids are wild about the brand new cars

You and I can order steak with all the trimmings and not worry

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

[ Skeeter ]

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

[ Both ]

There never was a time we didn't love

There never was a time never was a time never was a time we didn't love

Never was a time never was a time never was a time we didn't love
