If We Have Each Other

She was 19 with a baby on the way
 On the East-side of the city, she was working every day
 Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
 She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
 And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night
 To a one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light
 She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright
 She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
 She'd never be alone
 Have someone to hold
 And when nights were cold
 She'd say
 The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
 If we got each other, and that's all we have
 I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
 You should know I'll be there for you
 When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind
 If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
 I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
 You should know I'll be there for you
 They were 90 and were living out their days
 On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
 They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
 And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
 With each other, and though some times were hard
 Even when she made him angry, he would never break her heart
 No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
 But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
 Even at the end
 Their love was stronger than
 The day that they first met
 They'd say
 The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
 If we got each other, and that's all we have
 I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
 You should know I'll be there for you
 When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind
 If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
 I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
 You should know I'll be there for you

 You should know I'll be there for you
 I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
 I know they don't have forever, and I'm scared to be alone
 So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
 When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
 I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry
 So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
 I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
 I wrote this verse to tell her that
 The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
 If we got each other, and that's all we have
 I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
 You should know I'll be there for you
 When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind
 If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
 I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
 You should know I'll be there for you
