[00:00.00]If We Have Each Other (Live) - Alec Benjamin
[00:01.12]She was 19 with a baby on the way
[00:03.98]On the East-side of the city
[00:05.12]She was working every day
[00:06.62]Cleaning dishes in the evening
[00:07.85]She could barely stay awake
[00:09.32]She was clinging to the feeling
[00:10.78]That her luck was gonna change
[00:12.10]And 'cross town
[00:13.63]She would take the bus at night
[00:15.02]To a one bedroom apartment
[00:16.53]And when she'd turn on the light
[00:17.86]She would sit down at the table
[00:19.05]Tell herself that it's alright
[00:20.83]She was waiting on the day
[00:21.81]She hoped her baby would arrive
[00:23.17]She'd never be alone
[00:26.79]Have someone to hold
[00:29.51]And when nights were cold
[00:32.32]She'd say
[00:33.86]The world's not perfect
[00:35.52]But it's not that bad
[00:36.59]If we got each other
[00:37.91]And that's all we have
[00:39.09]I will be your mother
[00:40.64]And I'll hold your hand
[00:42.49]You should know I'll be there for you
[00:45.08]When the world's not perfect
[00:46.36]When the world's not kind
[00:47.44]If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[00:50.36]I will be your mother
[00:51.51]And I'll hold your hand
[00:53.57]You should know I'll be there for you
[00:56.50]They were 90 and were living out their days
[00:59.41]On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
[01:02.08]They had pictures on the walls
[01:03.49]Of all the memories that they'd made
[01:04.99]And though life was never easy
[01:06.31]They were thankful that they stayed
[01:08.31]With each other
[01:09.35]And though some times were hard
[01:10.60]Even when she made him angry
[01:12.01]He would never break her heart
[01:13.10]No they didn't have the money
[01:14.62]To afford a fancy car
[01:15.76]But they never had to travel
[01:17.25]'Cause they'd never be apart
[01:19.45]Even at the end
[01:22.32]Their love was stronger than
[01:24.97]The day that they first met
[01:27.82]They'd say
[01:29.39]The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
[01:32.14]If we got each other and that's all we have
[01:34.74]I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand
[01:38.03]You should know I'll be there for you
[01:40.51]When the world's not perfect
[01:41.84]When the world's not kind
[01:43.12]If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[01:45.94]I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand
[01:49.10]You should know I'll be there for you
[02:00.33]You should know I'll be there for you
[02:03.85]I'm 23 and my folks are getting old
[02:05.96]I know they don't have forever
[02:07.40]And I'm scared to be alone
[02:08.73]So I'm thankful for my sister
[02:10.25]Even though sometimes we fight
[02:11.64]When high school wasn't easy
[02:12.89]She's the reason I survived
[02:14.52]I know she'd never leave me
[02:15.80]And I hate to see her cry
[02:16.90]So I wrote this verse to tell her that
[02:18.71]I'm always by her side
[02:20.05]I wrote this verse to tell her that
[02:21.58]I'm always by her side
[02:22.85]I wrote this verse to tell her that
[02:25.17]Verse to tell her that
[02:26.17]Verse to tell her that
[02:28.40]Verse to tell her that
[02:33.21]The world's not perfect
[02:34.53]But it's not that bad
[02:36.03]If we got each other
[02:37.22]And that's all we have
[02:38.61]I will be your brother
[02:40.05]And I'll hold your hand
[02:41.81]You should know I'll be
[02:43.08]There for you
[02:44.40]When the world's not perfect
[02:45.58]When the world's not kind
[02:46.93]If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[02:49.72]I will be your brother
[02:50.86]And I'll hold your hand
[02:52.92]You should know I'll be there for you
[03:04.07]You should know I'll be there for you
[03:06.56]The world's not perfect
[03:07.63]But it's not that bad
[03:09.16]If we got each other
[03:10.40]And that's all we have
[03:11.83]I will be your brother
[03:13.26]And I'll hold your hand
[03:15.16]You should know I'll be
[03:16.48]There for you
