If we have each other

[00:00.68] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:02.27] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.77] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.42] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.08] And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night

[00:14.01] To a one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light

[00:16.68] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.34] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive

[00:22.26] She'd never be alone

[00:25.47] Have someone to hold

[00:28.13] And when nights were cold

[00:30.52] She'd say

[00:32.65] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[00:35.33] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[00:38.25] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

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

[00:43.85] When the world's not perfect

[00:45.18] When the world's not kind

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

[00:49.43] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:52.37] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:55.55] They were 90 and were living out their days

[00:58.24] On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:01.19] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:03.85] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed

[01:07.06] With each other, and though some times were hard

[01:09.71] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:12.10] No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:14.76] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:17.95] Even at the end

[01:20.61] Their love was stronger than

[01:23.30] The day that they first met

[01:26.47] They'd say

[01:28.34] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[01:30.46] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[01:33.38] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:36.60] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:39.25] When the world's not perfect

[01:40.86] When the world's not kind

[01:42.18] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine

[01:44.57] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:47.77] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:58.40] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:01.59] I'm 23, and my folks are getting old

[02:04.77] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.42] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.35] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.00] I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry

[02:15.66] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:18.85] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:21.51] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:23.63] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[02:26.28] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[02:28.94] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:32.13] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:35.05] When the world's not perfect

[02:36.38] When the world's not kind

[02:38.00] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine

[02:40.65] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:43.30] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:54.46] You should know I'll be there for you
