If We Have Each Other

[00:00.17] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:03.37] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.77] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.42] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.34] And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night

[00:14.57] To a one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light

[00:17.23] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.63] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive

[00:22.56] She'd never be alone

[00:25.49] Have someone to hold

[00:28.19] And when nights were cold

[00:31.38] She'd say

[00:32.97] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[00:35.62] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[00:38.29] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:41.74] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:43.89] When the world's not perfect

[00:45.49] When the world's not kind

[00:46.85] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine

[00:49.23] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:52.71] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:55.65] They were 90 and were living out their days

[00:58.84] On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:01.31] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:03.98] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed

[01:07.43] With each other, and though some times were hard

[01:09.83] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:12.22] No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:15.16] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:18.87] Even at the end

[01:21.29] Their love was stronger than

[01:23.94] The day that they first met

[01:26.86] They'd say

[01:28.45] 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

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

[01:36.96] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:39.44] When the world's not perfect

[01:41.06] When the world's not kind

[01:42.38] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine

[01:44.77] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:48.00] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:59.24] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:02.19] I'm 23, and my folks are getting old

[02:05.12] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.58] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.30] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.56] I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry

[02:16.22] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:19.16] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:21.82] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:23.94] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[02:26.63] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[02:29.28] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:32.74] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:34.87] When the world's not perfect

[02:36.24] When the world's not kind

[02:37.56] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine

[02:40.23] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:43.67] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:54.57] You should know I'll be there for you
