If we have each other

[00:01.18] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:02.79] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.46] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.11] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.02] And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night

[00:13.67] To a one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light

[00:16.59] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.00] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive

[00:22.18] She'd never be alone

[00:24.84] Have someone to hold

[00:27.77] And when nights were cold

[00:30.43] She'd say

[00:32.28] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[00:34.94] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[00:37.60] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:40.80] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:43.19] When the world's not perfect

[00:45.04] When the world's not kind

[00:46.37] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine

[00:49.04] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:50.36] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:55.15] They were 90 and were living out their days

[00:58.34] On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:00.99] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:03.39] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed

[01:06.31] With each other, and though some times were hard

[01:09.51] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:11.90] No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:15.09] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:18.27] Even at the end

[01:20.66] Their love was stronger than

[01:23.59] The day that they first met

[01:25.71] They'd say

[01:27.83] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[01:30.48] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[01:33.40] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:36.34] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:38.49] When the world's not perfect

[01:41.68] When the world's not kind

[01:42.21] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine

[01:44.34] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:46.99] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:50.19] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:01.35] I'm 23, and my folks are getting old

[02:04.85] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.49] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.41] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.07] I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry

[02:15.72] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:18.65] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:21.31] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:23.70] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[02:26.35] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[02:28.74] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:31.40] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:34.06] When the world's not perfect

[02:37.24] When the world's not kind

[02:37.77] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine

[02:39.62] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:41.49] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:45.23] You should know I'll be there for you
