[00:02.93] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day
[00:06.12] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
[00:09.30] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
[00:12.75] And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night
[00:15.94] To a one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light
[00:19.13] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright
[00:22.58] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
[00:25.77] She'd never be alone
[00:29.22] Have someone to hold
[00:32.68] And when nights were cold
[00:36.13] She'd say
[00:37.46] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
[00:41.18] If we got each other, and that's all we have
[00:44.37] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
[00:48.08] You should know I'll be there for you
[00:51.27] When the world's not perfect
[00:52.60] When the world's not kind
[00:54.46] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
[00:57.38] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
[01:00.83] You should know I'll be there for you
[01:04.29] They were 90 and were living out their days
[01:08.00] On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
[01:11.19] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
[01:14.38] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
[01:17.83] With each other, and though some times were hard
[01:21.02] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
[01:24.21] No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
[01:27.66] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
[01:30.85] Even at the end
[01:34.30] Their love was stronger than
[01:37.49] The day that they first met
[01:40.68] They'd say
[01:42.80] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
[01:46.25] If we got each other, and that's all we have
[01:49.44] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
[01:52.63] You should know I'll be there for you
[01:56.08] When the world's not perfect
[01:57.68] When the world's not kind
[01:59.27] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
[02:02.46] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
[02:05.91] You should know I'll be there for you
[02:18.39] You should know I'll be there for you
[02:22.11] I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
[02:25.83] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
[02:29.02] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
[02:32.21] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
[02:35.39] I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry
[02:38.85] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:42.04] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:45.22] I wrote this verse to tell her that
[02:47.61] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
[02:51.07] If we got each other, and that's all we have
[02:54.25] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
[02:57.71] You should know I'll be there for you
[03:00.89] When the world's not perfect
[03:02.49] When the world's not kind
[03:04.09] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
[03:07.02] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
[03:10.74] You should know I'll be there for you
[03:24.02] You should know I'll be there for you
