If We Have Each Other
[00:00.13] She was 19 with a baby on the way
[00:02.55] On the EastSide of the city, she was working every day
[00:05.64] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
[00:08.40] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
[00:11.14] And 'cross town she would take the bus at night
[00:13.87] To a one bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light
[00:16.50] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright
[00:19.24] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
[00:22.08] *Pre-Chorus*
[00:22.08] She'd never be alone
[00:25.41] Have someone to hold
[00:28.41] And when nights were cold
[00:31.17] She'd say
[00:32.52] *Chorus*
[00:32.52] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
[00:35.38] If we got each other, and that's all we have
[00:38.12] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
[00:41.27] You should know I'll be there for you
[00:43.77] When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind
[00:46.51] If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[00:49.35] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
[00:52.36] You should know I'll be there for you
[00:55.29] *Verse 2*
[00:55.29] They were 90 and were living out their days
[00:58.42] On the Westside of the city, next to where they got engaged
[01:00.89] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
[01:03.90] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
[01:07.15] With each other, and though some times were hard
[01:09.41] 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
[01:14.65] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
[01:18.39] Even at the end
[01:20.99] Their love was stronger than
[01:23.99] The day that they first met
[01:26.74] They'd say
[01:28.49] *Chorus*
[01:28.49] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
[01:31.00] If we got each other, and that's all we have
[01:33.74] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
[01:36.99] You should know I'll be there for you
[01:39.23] When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind
[01:42.00] If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[01:44.75] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
[01:47.99] You should know I'll be there for you
[01:51.00] *Bridge*
[01:51.00] Mmm, mmm, mmm
[01:58.99] You should know I'll be there for you
[02:02.15] *Verse 3*
[02:02.15] I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
[02:04.93] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
[02:07.40] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
[02:10.65] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
[02:13.40] I know she'd never leave me, and I hate to see her cry
[02:15.89] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:18.77] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:21.77] I wrote this verse to tell her that
[02:23.76] *Chorus*
[02:23.76] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
[02:26.52] If we got each other, and that's all we have
[02:29.03] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
[02:32.52] You should know I'll be there for you
[02:34.77] When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind
[02:37.53] If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[02:40.27] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
[02:43.52] You should know I'll be there for you
[02:46.52] *Outro*
[02:46.52] Mmm, mmm, mmm
[02:54.52] You should know I'll be there for you
