There Never Was A Time Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

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 mosquitoes and enjoyed 

You 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 

The Christmas brought us 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 see 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 ike 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 your 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 your prayers we've thanked the man upstairs who led us through 

The years of rearin' kids and payin' bills 

And I think he guide 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 never was a time we didn't love
