If We Have Each Other

[00:00.36] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:01.90] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:03.62] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.61] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.36] And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night

[00:14.38] To a one bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light

[00:16.89] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.37] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive

[00:22.65] She'd never be alone

[00:25.86] Have someone to hold

[00:28.86] And when nights were cold

[00:31.64] She'd say

[00:33.12] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[00:35.63] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[00:38.66] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:41.63] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:44.13] When the world's not perfect

[00:45.37] When the world's not kind

[00:46.89] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[00:49.63] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:52.63] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:57.11] They were 90 and were living out their days

[00:58.64] On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:01.62] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:04.11] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed

[01:07.61] With each other, and though some times were hard

[01:09.87] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:12.37] No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:15.39] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:18.86] Even at the end

[01:21.39] Their love was stronger than

[01:24.37] The day that they first met

[01:27.12] They'd say

[01:28.62] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[01:31.12] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[01:33.87] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:37.35] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:39.40] When the world's not perfect

[01:40.87] When the world's not kind

[01:42.11] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[01:45.12] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:48.41] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:59.64] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:02.12] I'm 23, and my folks are getting old

[02:05.11] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.87] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.87] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.87] I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry

[02:16.35] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:18.88] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:21.87] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:24.12] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[02:26.61] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[02:28.12] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:32.66] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:35.13] When the world's not perfect

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

[02:37.61] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[02:40.39] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:43.65] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:55.11] You should know I'll be there for you
