Alec Benjamin - If We Have Each Other [Official Lyric Video]

[00:00.06] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:02.80] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.58] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.32] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.06] And, 'cross town she'd take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment

[00:15.30] And when she'd turn on the light

[00:16.56] She would sit down at the table

[00:18.07] Tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.31] She was waiting on the day she hoped the baby would arrive

[00:22.33] She'd never be alone

[00:25.57] Have someone to hold

[00:28.31] And when nights were cold, she'd say

[00:32.81] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[00:35.32] If we got each other and that's all we have

[00:38.06] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand

[00:41.30] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:43.56] When the world's not perfect

[00:45.06] When the world's not kind

[00:46.55] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[00:49.06] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand

[00:52.32] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:55.31] They were 90 and were living out their days on the west side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:01.08] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:03.81] And though life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed

[01:07.08] With each other and though sometimes were hard

[01:09.30] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:12.06] No they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:14.80] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:18.32] Even at the end, their love was stronger than the day that they first met

[01:26.55] They'd say

[01:28.07] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[01:30.83] If we got each other and that's all we have

[01:33.58] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand

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

[01:39.08] When the world's not perfect

[01:40.55] When the world's not kind

[01:41.81] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[01:44.55] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand

[01:48.06] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:59.05] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:02.05] I'm 23 and my folks are getting old

[02:04.81] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.55] So I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.56] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.56] I know she'd never leave me

[02:14.81] And I hate to see her cry

[02:16.08] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:18.82] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:21.83] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:23.56] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[02:26.30] If we got each other and that's all we have

[02:29.06] I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand

[02:32.30] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:34.55] When the world's not perfect

[02:36.11] When the world's not kind

[02:37.31] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[02:40.06] I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand

[02:43.55] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:54.55] You should know I'll be there for you
