Alec Benjamin - If We Have Each Other [Official Lyric Video]
[00:00.60] She was nineteen with a baby on the way
[00:03.10] On the east-side of the city she was working every day
[00:05.09] Cleaning dishes in the evening she could barely stay awake
[00:08.84] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was going to change
[00:12.11] And, cross town she would take the bus at night
[00:14.59] To a one bedroom apartment
[00:16.09] And then when she'd turn on the light
[00:17.34] She would sit down at the table
[00:18.59] Tell herself that it's alright
[00:20.09] She was waiting on the day that she hoped her baby would arrive
[00:23.60] She'd never be alone
[00:26.34] Have someone to hold
[00:28.33] And when night's were cold she'd say
[00:30.59] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
[00:35.83] If we got each other and that's all we have
[00:38.59] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand
[00:41.39] You should know I will be there for you
[00:43.60] And the world's not perfect
[00:45.35] When the world's not kind
[00:47.09] If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[00:49.34] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand
[00:52.59] You should know I will be there for you
[00:56.34] They were ninety and were living out their days on the
[00:59.10] West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
[01:01.34] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they made
[01:04.08] And their life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed
[01:07.34] With each other and though some times were hard
[01:09.84] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
[01:13.09] And they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
[01:15.34] But they never had to travel because they'd never be apart
[01:18.60] Even at the end their love was stronger then
[01:21.09] The day that they first met
[01:27.10] They'd say
[01:28.60] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
[01:31.09] If we got each other and that's all we have
[01:33.84] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand
[01:37.09] You should know I will be there for you
[01:39.36] And the world's not perfect
[01:41.10] When the world's not kind
[01:42.34] If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[01:45.10] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand
[01:47.09] You should know I will be there for you
[01:59.59] You should know I will be there for you
[02:02.85] I'm twenty three and my folks are getting old
[02:03.09] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
[02:08.49] So I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight
[02:11.24] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
[02:13.49] I know she'd never leave me
[02:15.24] And I hate to see her cry
[02:16.49] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:19.24] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:20.74] I wrote this verse to tell her that
[02:24.24] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
[02:26.24] If we got each other and that's all we have
[02:29.49] I will be your brother and hold your hand
[02:33.00] You should know I will be there for you
[02:35.49] And the world's not perfect
[02:36.48] When the world's not kind
[02:37.99] If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[02:40.76] I will be your brother and hold your hand
[02:43.98] You should know i'll be there for you
[02:55.74] You should know I'll be there for you
