When I was a boy, my sister and my brother
Mom and Dad we lived in Arkansas
We were poor and some days it looked like
we wouldn't make it but
we did because we had love

We had love
We had love
More important than anything else
We had love
There were times when we had no shoes
But somehow we made it through
And it's because we had love

Christmas Day my Dad went hunting
He brought back two ducks for us to eat
Mom made popcorn beads for our tree
A cap gun for my brother and me
And a doll for my sister
We had love

We had love
We had love
More important than anything else
We had love
There were times when we had no shoes
But somehow we made it through
And it's because we had love

We had love
We had love
More important than anything else
We had love
There were times when we had no shoes
But somehow we made it through
It's because we had love.
