There was a time we'd sit in the backyard, cause the house would get so hot, from thesummer sun there was no way of sleeping, and I'd play my old guitar, we'd fight mosquitoesand enjoy our backyard concerts, for we had no television.We'd just begun our life as man and wife, and hardships then could scarcely scare usinto quitting, things were far from being fine, we'd often dine on a dime, but therenever was a time we didn't love.And that Christmas brought our saddest day, when our pride gave way, you told the kidsthere'd be no gifts, cause we were broke, and though their little tears of grief, itwas 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 nothinggood 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.There's an easy chair for my bike, a satin pillow for your head, and the kids are wildabout their brand new cars, you and I can order steak, with all the trimmings and notworry, if we spend a dollar more, then we can spare, no wonder in our prayers, we'dthank the man upstairs, who led us through the years, our rearing kids and paying bills,and I think he guided us, not because we were smart, but there never was a time we didn'tlove.There never was a time, there never was a time, no there never was a time we didn'tlove.
