If we have each other

[00:00.28] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:02.68] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.33] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:07.99] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:10.91] And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night

[00:13.84] To a one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light

[00:16.22] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.15] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive

[00:22.07] She'd never be alone

[00:25.26] Have someone to hold

[00:28.19] And when nights were cold

[00:31.10] She'd say

[00:32.42] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[00:35.08] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[00:37.74] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:41.19] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:43.58] When the world's not perfect

[00:44.91] When the world's not kind

[00:46.50] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine

[00:48.89] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:52.36] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:55.27] They were 90 and were living out their days

[00:57.93] On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:00.58] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:03.52] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed

[01:06.97] With each other, and though some times were hard

[01:09.63] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:11.76] No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:14.41] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:17.86] Even at the end

[01:20.53] Their love was stronger than

[01:23.44] The day that they first met

[01:26.36] They'd say

[01:27.96] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[01:30.61] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[01:33.53] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:36.47] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:38.85] When the world's not perfect

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

[01:41.77] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine

[01:44.70] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:47.61] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:59.04] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:02.22] I'm 23, and my folks are getting old

[02:04.61] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.27] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.19] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:12.85] 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

[02:18.44] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:21.36] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:23.75] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[02:26.14] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[02:28.81] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:31.72] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:34.38] When the world's not perfect

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

[02:37.30] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine

[02:38.89] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:43.16] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:54.58] You should know I'll be there for you
