[00:00.01] She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:02.52] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:05.51] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:08.27] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:11.27] And, 'cross town she'd take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment

[00:15.51] And when she'd turn on the light

[00:17.02] She would sit down at the table

[00:18.27] Tell herself that it's alright

[00:19.54] She was waiting on the day she hoped the baby would arrive

[00:22.26] She'd never be alone

[00:25.28] Have someone to hold

[00:28.03] And when nights were cold, she'd say

[00:32.51] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[00:35.26] If we got each other and that's all we have

[00:38.00] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand

[00:41.27] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:43.76] When the world's not perfect

[00:45.27] When the world's not kind

[00:46.51] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[00:49.01] I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand

[00:52.52] You should know I'll be there for you

[00:55.02] They were 90 and were living out their days on the west side of the city next to where they got engaged

[01:01.29] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[01:04.02] And though life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed

[01:07.25] With each other and though sometimes were hard

[01:09.52] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:12.29] No they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:15.01] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:17.76] Even at the end, their love was stronger than the day that they first met

[01:26.01] They'd say

[01:28.02] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[01:30.77] If we got each other and that's all we have

[01:33.51] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand

[01:36.76] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:39.01] When the world's not perfect

[01:40.51] When the world's not kind

[01:42.03] If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[01:44.76] I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand

[01:47.76] You should know I'll be there for you

[01:51.01] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:02.26] I'm 23 and my folks are getting old

[02:04.76] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[02:07.52] So I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight

[02:10.52] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[02:13.26] I know she'd never leave me

[02:15.01] And I hate to see her cry

[02:16.02] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:18.52] 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

[02:23.51] The world's not perfect but it's not that bad

[02:26.27] If we got each other and that's all we have

[02:29.01] I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand

[02:32.26] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:34.51] When the world's not perfect

[02:36.26] When the world's not kind

[02:37.51] 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

[02:43.26] You should know I'll be there for you

[02:48.27] You should know I'll be there for you
