There Never Was A Time

(альбом: Your Husband My Wife - 1970)

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 sleeping
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 quitting
Things were far from being fine we often dined upon a dime
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 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.

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.

No wonder in your prayers we've thanked the man upstairs
Who led us through the years of raging kids and paying bills
And I think he guied us not because we were smart
But just because 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...
