Alec Benjamin - If We Have Each Other [Official Music Video] (GOEAR.EU)

[00:00.36] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:02.87] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.35] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.35] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.85] And, across town she would take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment

[00:15.36] And then she'd turn on the light

[00:17.10] She would sit down at the table

[00:18.38] Tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.60] She was waiting on the day that she hoped the baby would arrive

[00:24.35] She'd never be alone

[00:24.85] Have someone to hold

[00:28.10] And when nights were cold, she'd say

[00:32.35] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[00:35.37] If we got each other and that's all we have

[00:38.11] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand

[00:41.35] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:43.61] And the world's not perfect

[00:45.62] When the world's not kind

[00:46.87] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[00:49.13] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand

[00:52.35] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:55.85] They were 90 and were living out their days

[00:58.37] On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:01.10] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they made

[01:03.60] And their life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed

[01:07.35] With each other and though some times were hard

[01:09.36] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:12.12] And they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:14.85] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:18.64] Even at the end, their love was stronger then the day that they first met

[01:26.35] They'd say

[01:28.10] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[01:30.86] If we got each other and that's all we have

[01:33.60] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand

[01:36.85] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:39.10] And the world's not perfect

[01:40.61] When the world's not kind

[01:42.12] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[01:44.61] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand

[01:47.60] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:58.35] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:02.35] I'm 23 and my folks are getting old

[02:04.87] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.61] So I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.62] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.35] I know she'd never leave me

[02:14.86] And I hate to see her cry

[02:16.10] 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

[02:21.60] I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:23.60] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[02:26.37] If we got each other and that's all we have

[02:29.10] I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand

[02:34.60] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:36.63] And the world's not perfect

[02:37.11] When the world's not kind

[02:38.10] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[02:39.35] I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand

[02:45.10] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:53.60] You should know I'll be there for you
