There Never Was A Time — текст песни (Skeeter Davis and Bobby Bare)

[ 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
