Riley [00:04.84]There was a time we'd sit in the backyard [00:07.30] [00:08.10]'Cause the house would get so hot [00:09.96] [00:10.90]From the summer sun there was no way of sleepin' [00:14.46] [00:16.18]And you'd play your old guitar we'd fight mosquitos [00:19.73]And enjoy you backyard concerts for we had no television [00:25.06] [00:27.43]We'd just begun our life as man and wife [00:30.69] [00:31.25]And hardships then could scarcely scare us into quittin' [00:36.38] [00:38.20]Things were far from bein' fine we often dined upon a dime [00:42.81] [00:43.73]But there never was a time we didn't love [00:47.35] [00:54.70]And that christmas brought our saddest days [00:57.55]When your pride gave way when you told the kids [00:59.91] [01:00.92]There'd be no gifts 'cause we were broke [01:03.46] [01:05.51]Though their little tears of grief were so hard to see [01:09.51] [01:10.18]It didn't hurt me like the lump I knew was in your throat [01:14.70] [01:16.54]It was then with arms entwined we both broke down and cried [01:21.32] [01:21.93]For it seemed like nothing good would ever come [01:25.36] [01:27.37]The doctor bills we couldn't pay they came and took our car away [01:32.07] [01:33.00]But there never was a time we didn't love [01:36.80] [01:43.62]Now there's an easy chair for my back a satin pillow for my head [01:49.72]And the kids are wild about the brand new car [01:52.89] [01:54.69]You and I can order steak with all the trimmings [01:58.28] [01:58.85]And not worry if we've spent a dollar more than we can spare [02:03.76] [02:05.90]No wonder in our prayers we've thanked the man upstairs [02:09.63]Who led us through the years of raisin' kids and payin' bills [02:14.08] [02:16.34]And I think he guided us not because we were smart [02:20.18] [02:20.83]But just because there never was a time we didn't love [02:25.19] [02:27.04]No there never was a time never was a time [02:31.54] [02:32.56]There never was a time we didn't love [02:35.67] [02:37.64]No there never was a time never was a time [02:42.02] [02:43.23]There never was a time we didn't love
