If we have each other

[00:02.93] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.69] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.44] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.43] And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night

[00:13.19] To a one bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light

[00:16.69] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.44] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive

[00:22.18] She'd never be alone

[00:25.43] Have someone to hold

[00:27.93] And when nights were cold

[00:30.68] She'd say

[00:32.69] … The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[00:35.18] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[00:37.68] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:40.93] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:43.43] When the world's not perfect

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

[00:46.53] 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

[00:52.28] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:55.78] … They were 90 and were living out their days

[00:57.27] On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:01.27] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:04.03] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed

[01:07.02] With each other, and though some times were hard

[01:09.53] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:11.77] No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:15.03] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:18.03] Even at the end

[01:20.77] Their love was stronger than

[01:23.77] The day that they first met

[01:26.28] 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

[01:33.56] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:36.53] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:39.47] When the world's not perfect

[01:40.44] When the world's not kind

[01:42.43] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[01:44.85] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:48.35] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:58.35] … You should know I'll be there for you

[02:02.36] … I'm 23, and my folks are getting old

[02:04.79] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:06.77] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight

[02:09.78] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.53] I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry

[02:15.79] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:18.78] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:21.71] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:23.45] … The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[02:25.45] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[02:28.70] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:32.44] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:34.70] When the world's not perfect

[02:36.36] When the world's not kind

[02:38.12] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[02:40.12] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:42.78] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:54.77] … You should know I'll be there for you
