If we have each other

[00:01.04] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:01.78] On the EastSide of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.28] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.04] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.03] And 'cross town she would take the bus at night

[00:14.03] To a one bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light

[00:16.78] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.53] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive

[00:22.53] She'd never be alone

[00:25.28] Have someone to hold

[00:28.04] And when nights were cold

[00:31.29] She'd say

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

[00:35.03] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[00:38.53] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:41.04] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:43.77] When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind

[00:46.29] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[00:49.28] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

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

[00:55.04] They were 90 and were living out their days

[00:58.28] On the Westside of the city, next to where they got engaged

[01:01.03] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:03.54] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed

[01:07.03] With each other, and though some times 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

[01:14.78] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:18.04] Even at the end

[01:20.78] Their love was stronger than

[01:23.29] 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

[01:30.78] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[01:33.28] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:36.79] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:39.53] When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind

[01:41.53] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[01:44.79] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:47.78] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:50.53] Mmm, mmm, mmm

[01:59.03] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:01.78] I'm 23, and my folks are getting old

[02:04.53] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.78] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.28] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.28] I know she'd never leave me, and I hate to see her cry

[02:16.28] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:18.53] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:21.54] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:23.54] 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

[02:29.53] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:32.03] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:34.53] When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind

[02:37.28] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[02:40.54] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

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

[02:46.53] Mmm, mmm, mmm

[02:54.04] You should know I'll be there for you
