There Never Was a Time
Love's Triumph Through Hardship: A Tale in Melody
Lyrics
[ Bobby ]
[Bobby]
There was a time we'd sit in the backyard cause the house would get so hot
There was a time we'd sit in the backyard because the house would get too hot
From the summer sun there was no way of sleepin'
During the summer, it was difficult to sleep due to the heat
[ Skeeter ]
[Skeeter]
And you'd play your old guitar we'd fight mosquitos and enjoy
You would play your old guitar, and we'd endure mosquitoes, enjoying backyard concerts as we had no television
Your backyard concerts for we had no television
Recollecting early days of marriage with simplicity and shared experiences
[ Both ]
[Both]
We'd just begun our life as man and wife and hardships then
We just started our life together, facing hardships that couldn't deter us
Could scarcely scare us into quittin'
Challenges couldn't make us give up
Things were far from bein' fine we often dined upon a dime
Life wasn't easy; we often had frugal meals
There never was a time we didn't love
Throughout all difficulties, our love remained constant
[ Skeeter ]
[Skeeter]
That Christmas brought our saddest days when your pride gave way as you told the kids
Christmas brought sadness as pride gave way, and we couldn't afford gifts
There'd be no gifts cause we were broke
Financial struggles affected holiday celebrations
Though their little tears of grief were so hard to see it didn't hurt me
Children's tears were painful, but the real heartache was in your choked-up confession
Like the lump I knew was in your throat
Emotional impact of hardships, felt deeply
[ Both ]
[Both]
It was then with arms entwined we both broke down and cried
In that moment of shared vulnerability, we both cried, feeling that nothing good would come
For it seemed like nothing good would ever come
A sense of despair and uncertainty
The doctor bills we couldn't pay they came and took our car away
Unable to pay doctor bills, our car was repossessed
There never was a time we didn't love
Love persisted despite financial hardships
[ Bobby ]
[Bobby]
Now there's an easy chair for my back and satin pillows for your head
Now, comfort surrounds us - an easy chair, satin pillows, and the joy of new cars
And the kids are wild about the brand new cars
Kids now enjoy luxuries, and we can afford to indulge in good meals
You and I can order steak with all the trimmings and not worry
Financial stability and abundance
If we've spent a dollar more than we could spare
We can spend without worry, having more than enough
[ Skeeter ]
[Skeeter]
No wonder in our prayers we've thanked the man upstairs who led us through
In our prayers, we express gratitude for guidance through years of raising kids and managing finances
The years of raisin' kids and payin' bills
Reflecting on the challenges and blessings of family life
And I think he guided us not because we were smart but just because
Divine guidance not based on our intelligence but perhaps our sincerity
[ Both ]
[Both]
There never was a time we didn't love
Throughout the journey, our love remained unwavering
There never was a time never was a time never was a time we didn't love
Repeated affirmation that there was never a time we didn't love
Never was a time never was a time never was a time we didn't love
