If We Have Each Other - Alec Benjamin

[00:00.130]She was 19 with a baby on the way
[00:02.753]On the east-side of the city she was working every day
[00:05.464]Cleaning dishes in the evening she could barely stay awake
[00:08.323]She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was going to change
[00:11.123]And, across town she'd take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment
[00:15.740]And then she'd turn on the light
[00:16.734]She would sit down at the table
[00:18.004]Tell herself that it's alright
[00:19.300]She was waiting on the day that she hoped her baby would arrive
[00:21.899]She'd never be alone
[00:25.484]Have someone to hold
[00:28.338]And when night's were cold she'd say
[00:33.080]The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
[00:35.474]If we got each other and that's all we have
[00:38.163]I will be your mother and hold your hand
[00:40.819]You should know I will be there for you
[00:43.851]And the world's not perfect
[00:45.148]When the world's not kind
[00:46.379]If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[00:49.095]I will be your mother and hold your hand
[00:52.136]You should know I will be there for you
[00:55.128]They were 90 and were living out their days on the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
[01:01.038]They had picture son the walls of all the memories that they made
[01:03.823]And their life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed
[01:07.233]With each other and though some times were hard
[01:09.635]Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
[01:12.045]And they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
[01:14.873]But they never had to travel because they would never be apart
[01:18.506]Even at the end their love was stronger then the day that they first met
[01:26.235]They'd say
[01:28.203]The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
[01:30.973]If we got each other and that's all we have
[01:33.589]I will be your lover and hold your hand
[01:36.452]You should know I will be there for you
[01:39.312]And the world's not perfect
[01:40.595]When the world's not kind
[01:41.933]If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[01:44.600]I will be your lover and hold your hand
[01:47.599]You should know I will be there for you
[01:52.996]
[01:59.345]You should know I will be there for you
[02:01.545]I'm 23 and my folks are getting old
[02:04.912]I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
[02:07.558]So I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight
[02:10.375]When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
[02:13.132]I know she'd never leave me
[02:14.555]And I hate to see her cry
[02:15.864]So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:18.683]I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:21.531]I wrote this verse to tell her that
[02:23.869]The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
[02:26.377]If we got each other and that's all we have
[02:29.081]I will be your brother and hold your hand
[02:31.995]You should know I will be there for you
[02:34.714]And the world's not perfect
[02:36.065]When the world's not kind
[02:37.402]If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[02:40.089]I will be your brother and hold your hand
[02:43.057]You should know I will be there for you
[02:46.400]
[02:54.698]You should I know I will be there for you
