If We Have Each Other lyrics

• She was nineteen with a baby on the way On the Eastside of the city, she was working everyday
  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 turned on the lights
  She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright
  She was waiting on the day she hoped a 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 it'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 ninety and were living out the days
  On the Westside of the city next to where they got engaged
  They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they made
  And though life is 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
  Mmm
  Mmm
  Mmm
  You should know I'll be there for you

  I'm twenty-three, 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
  Mmm
  Mmm
  Mmm
  You should know I'll be there for you
