If We Have Each Other

She was 19, with a baby on the wayOn the East-side of the city, she was working every dayCleaning dishes in the eveningshe could barely stay awakeShe was clinging to the feelingthat her luck was gonna changeAnd, across town she'd take the bus at nightto a one bedroom apartmentAnd then she'd turn on the lightShe would sit down at the tableTell herself that it's alrightShe was waiting on the day thatshe hoped her baby would arriveShe'd never be aloneHave someone to holdAnd when nights were cold, she'd sayThe world's not perfect, but it's not that badIf we got each other, and that's all we haveI will be your mother, and I'll hold your handYou should know I'll be there for youAnd the world's not perfectWhen the world's not kindIf we have each other then we'll both be fineI will be your mother and I'll hold your handYou should know I'll be there for youThey were 90, and were living out their daysOn the West-side of the citynext to where they got engagedThey had pictures on the wallsof all the memories that they madeAnd tought life was never easythey were thankful that they stayedWith each other and though some times were hardEven when she made him angryhe would never break her heartAnd they didn't have the money to afford a fancy carBut they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apartEven at the end, their love was strongerthen the day that they first metThey'd sayThe world's not perfect but it's not that badIf we got each other and that's all we haveI will be your lover and I'll hold your handYou should know I'll be there for youAnd the world's not perfectWhen the world's not kindIf we have each other then we'll both be fineI will be your lover and I'll hold your handYou should know I'll be there for youYou should know I'll be there for youI'm 23 and my folks are getting oldI know they don't have foreverand I'm scared to be aloneSo I'm thankful for my sister,even though sometimes we fightWhen high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survivedI know she'd never leave meAnd I hate to see her crySo I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her sideI wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her sideI wrote this verse to tell her thatThe world's not perfect but it's not that badIf we got each other and that's all we haveI will be your brother and I'll hold your handYou should know I'll be there for youAnd the world's not perfectWhen the world's not kindIf we have each other then we'll both be fineI will be your brother and I'll hold your handYou should know I'll be there for youYou should I know I'll be there for you
