[00:00.10]Alec Benjamin - If We Have Each Other
[00:00.52]She was 19 with a baby on the way
[00:03.18]On the east-side of the city she was working every day
[00:05.93]Cleaning dishes in the evening she could barely stay awake
[00:08.64]She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was going to change
[00:12.17]And across town she'd take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment
[00:15.73]And then she'd turn on the light
[00:17.03]She would sit down at the table
[00:18.51]Tell herself that it's alright
[00:19.90]She was waiting on the day that she hoped her baby would arrive
[00:22.54]She'd never be alone
[00:26.12]Have someone to hold
[00:28.94]And when night's were cold
[00:31.63]She'd say
[00:33.30]The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
[00:35.81]If we got each other and that's all we have
[00:38.51]I will be your mother and hold your hand
[00:41.80]You should know I'll be there for you
[00:44.13]And the world's not perfect
[00:45.42]When the world's not kind
[00:46.92]If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[00:49.59]I will be your mother and hold your hand
[00:52.99]You should know I'll be there for you
[00:55.95]They were 90 and were living out their days
[00:58.72]On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
[01:01.53]They had picture on the walls of all the memories that they made
[01:04.36]And their life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed
[01:07.73]With each other and though some times were hard
[01:10.04]Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
[01:12.54]And they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
[01:15.40]But they never had to travel cause they would never be apart
[01:18.95]Even at the end their love was stronger than the day that they first met
[01:26.97]They'd say
[01:28.85]The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
[01:31.32]If we got each other and that's all we have
[01:34.15]I will be your lover and hold your hand
[01:37.37]You should know I'll be there for you
[01:39.75]And the world's not perfect
[01:40.98]When the world's not kind
[01:42.37]If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[01:45.19]I will be your lover and hold your hand
[01:48.50]You should know I'll be there for you
[01:59.71]You should know I'll be there for you
[02:02.55]I'm 23 and my folks are getting old
[02:05.41]I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
[02:08.02]So I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight
[02:11.04]When high school wasn't easy she's the reason I survived
[02:13.89]I know she'd never leave me
[02:14.98]And I hate to see her cry
[02:16.42]So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:19.37]I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:22.21]I wrote this verse to tell her that
[02:24.34]The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
[02:26.76]If we got each other and that's all we have
[02:29.59]I will be your brother and hold your hand
[02:32.81]You should know I'll be there for you
[02:35.24]And the world's not perfect
[02:36.43]When the world's not kind
[02:37.97]If we have each other then we'll both be fine
[02:40.61]I will be your brother and hold your hand
[02:43.85]You should know I'll be there for you
[02:55.13]You should know I'll be there for you
