alec benjamin if we have each other sped up

[00:00.01] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:02.00] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:04.00] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:07.00] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:09.00] And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night

[00:11.00] To a one bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light

[00:14.00] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright

[00:15.00] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive

[00:18.00] She'd never be alone

[00:21.00] Have someone to hold

[00:23.00] And when nights were cold

[00:25.00] She'd say

[00:27.00] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[00:29.00] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[00:32.00] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:34.00] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:36.00] When the world's not perfect

[00:37.00] When the world's not kind

[00:38.00] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[00:40.00] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:43.00] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:45.00] They were 90 and were living out their days

[00:48.00] On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged

[00:50.00] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[00:53.00] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed

[00:56.00] With each other, and though some times were hard

[00:57.00] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:00.00] No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:02.00] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:05.00] Even at the end

[01:07.00] Their love was stronger than

[01:09.00] The day that they first met

[01:12.00] They'd say

[01:13.00] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[01:15.00] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[01:17.00] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:20.00] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:22.00] When the world's not perfect

[01:23.00] When the world's not kind

[01:24.00] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[01:27.00] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:29.00] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:38.00] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:41.00] I'm 23, and my folks are getting old

[01:44.00] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[01:46.00] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight

[01:48.00] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[01:50.00] I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry

[01:53.00] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[01:55.00] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[01:58.00] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:02.00] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[02:04.00] will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:06.00] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:09.00] When the world's not perfect

[02:13.00] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:16.00] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:25.00] You should know I'll be there for you
