0:00She was 19 with a baby on the way
0:03On the East-side of the city she was working every day
0:05Cleaning dishes in the evening she could barely stay awake
0:08She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
0:11And 'cross town she would take the bus at night
0:14To a one bedroom apartment and when she'd turn on the light
0:17She would sit down at the table tell herself that it's alright
0:19She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
0:22She'd never be alone
0:25Have someone to hold
0:28And when nights were cold
0:31She'd say
0:33The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
0:35If we got each other and that's all we have
0:38I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand
0:41You should know I'll be there for you
0:44When the world's not perfect when the world's not kind
0:46If we have each other then we'll both be fine
0:49I will be your mother and I'll hold your hand
0:52You should know I'll be there for you
0:55They were 90 and were living out their days
0:58On the Westside of the city next to where they got engaged
1:01They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
1:04And though life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed
1:07With each other and though some times were hard
1:09Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
1:12No they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
1:15But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
1:18Even at the end
1:21Their love was stronger than
1:24The day that they first met
1:27They'd say
1:28The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
1:31If we got each other and that's all we have
1:34I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand
1:36You should know I'll be there for you
1:39When the world's not perfect when the world's not kind
1:42If we have each other then we'll both be fine
1:45I will be your lover and I'll hold your hand
1:48You should know I'll be there for you
1:50Mmm mmm mmm
1:59You should know I'll be there for you
2:02I'm 23 and my folks are getting old
2:05I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
2:07So I'm thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight
2:10When high school wasn't easy she's the reason I survived
2:13I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry
2:16So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
2:19I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
2:21I wrote this verse to tell her that
2:24The world's not perfect but it's not that bad
2:26If we got each other and that's all we have
2:29I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand
2:32You should know I'll be there for you
2:34When the world's not perfect when the world's not kind
2:37If we have each other then we'll both be fine
2:40I will be your brother and I'll hold your hand
2:43You should know I'll be there for you
2:46Mmm mmm mmm
2:54You should know I'll be there for you
