If we have each other

[00:00.80] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:02.07] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.55] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.07] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.30] And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night

[00:13.54] To a one bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light

[00:16.54] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.33] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive

[00:22.56] She'd never be alone

[00:25.30] Have someone to hold

[00:27.78] And when nights were cold

[00:31.04] She'd say

[00:32.56] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[00:35.31] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[00:38.03] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:41.31] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:43.55] When the world's not perfect

[00:45.06] When the world's not kind

[00:46.57] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[00:49.30] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:52.31] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:55.80] They were 90 and were living out their days

[00:58.07] On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:00.81] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:03.57] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed

[01:06.57] With each other, and though some times were hard

[01:09.31] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:12.30] No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:14.80] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:18.05] Even at the end

[01:20.79] Their love was stronger than

[01:23.80] The day that they first met

[01:26.56] They'd say

[01:27.80] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[01:30.81] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[01:33.56] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:36.80] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:39.28] When the world's not perfect

[01:40.56] When the world's not kind

[01:42.07] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[01:44.81] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:48.04] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:59.07] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:02.30] I'm 23, and my folks are getting old

[02:04.81] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.54] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.31] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.31] I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry

[02:16.06] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:18.81] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:21.80] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:23.80] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[02:26.32] If we got each other, and that's all we have

[02:29.07] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:32.29] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:34.55] When the world's not perfect

[02:36.05] When the world's not kind

[02:37.30] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[02:40.05] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:43.54] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:54.55] You should know I'll be there for you
