If we have each other

[00:00.52] "If We Have Each Other"

[00:01.02] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:02.03] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.54] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.27] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.02] And, 'cross town she'd take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment

[00:15.27] And when she'd turn on the light

[00:16.77] She would sit down at the table

[00:18.02] Tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.52] She was waiting on the day she hoped the baby would arrive

[00:22.53] She'd never be alone

[00:25.27] Have someone to hold

[00:28.30] And when nights were cold, she'd say

[00:32.78] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[00:35.27] If we got each other and that's all we have

[00:38.27] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand

[00:41.27] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:43.52] When the world's not perfect

[00:45.03] When the world's not kind

[00:46.52] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[00:49.27] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand

[00:52.27] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:55.78] They were 90 and were living out their days on the west side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:01.02] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:03.77] And though life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed

[01:07.02] With each other and though sometimes were hard

[01:09.29] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:12.03] No they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:15.02] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:17.77] Even at the end, their love was stronger than the day that they first met

[01:26.52] They'd say

[01:28.28] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[01:30.77] If we got each other and that's all we have

[01:33.77] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand

[01:36.80] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:39.27] When the world's not perfect

[01:40.52] When the world's not kind

[01:42.02] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[01:44.52] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand

[01:48.02] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:53.77] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:02.02] I'm 23 and my folks are getting old

[02:04.78] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.77] So I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.52] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.53] I know she'd never leave me

[02:14.77] And I hate to see her cry

[02:16.03] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:18.80] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:21.78] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:23.77] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[02:26.54] If we got each other and that's all we have

[02:29.27] I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand

[02:32.28] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:34.81] When the world's not perfect

[02:36.03] When the world's not kind

[02:37.55] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[02:40.29] I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand

[02:43.53] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:47.52] You should know I'll be there for you
