Dolly Parton - There Never Was A Time lyrics

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 mosquitos and enjoyed Your 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 That 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 guided 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
