If We Have Each Other

[00:00.35] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:02.85] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.61] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.37] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.12] And, 'cross town she'd take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment

[00:15.13] And when she'd turn on the light

[00:16.38] She would sit down at the table

[00:17.89] Tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.39] She was waiting on the day she hoped the baby would arrive

[00:22.14] She'd never be alone

[00:25.40] Have someone to hold

[00:27.91] And when nights were cold, she'd say

[00:32.66] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[00:35.41] If we got each other and that's all we have

[00:37.92] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand

[00:41.18] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:43.68] When the world's not perfect

[00:44.94] When the world's not kind

[00:46.18] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[00:49.19] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand

[00:52.19] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:55.20] They were 90 and were living out their days on the west side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:00.96] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:03.97] And though life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed

[01:07.22] With each other and though sometimes were hard

[01:09.23] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:12.23] No they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:14.74] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:17.99] Even at the end, their love was stronger than the day that they first met

[01:26.25] They'd say

[01:28.01] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[01:30.77] If we got each other and that's all we have

[01:33.52] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand

[01:36.53] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:39.22] When the world's not perfect

[01:40.47] When the world's not kind

[01:41.97] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[01:44.73] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand

[01:47.74] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:58.75] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:01.75] I'm 23 and my folks are getting old

[02:04.51] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.52] So I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.52] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.28] I know she'd never leave me

[02:14.54] 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

[02:18.54] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:21.55] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:23.29] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[02:26.30] If we got each other and that's all we have

[02:29.06] I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand

[02:32.06] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:34.57] When the world's not perfect

[02:35.82] When the world's not kind

[02:37.32] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[02:40.08] I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand

[02:43.08] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:53.85] You should know I'll be there for you
