[00:00.283]She was 19 with a baby on the way

[00:02.288]On the East-side of the city, she was working every day

[00:04.796]Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

[00:06.809]She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

[00:09.321]And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment

[00:13.178]And when she'd turn on the light

[00:14.181]She would sit down at the table

[00:15.435]Tell herself that it's alright

[00:16.691]She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive

[00:18.951]She'd never be alone

[00:21.711]Have someone to hold

[00:24.474]And when nights were cold

[00:26.482]She'd say

[00:27.989]The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[00:30.753]If we got each other, and that's all we have

[00:33.017]I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:35.777]You should know I'll be there for you

[00:37.786]When the world's not perfect

[00:39.041]When the world's not kind

[00:40.296]If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[00:42.556]I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

[00:45.067]You should know I'll be there for you

[00:47.710]They were 90 and were living out their days on the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged

[00:52.985]They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

[00:55.752]And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed

[00:58.096]With each other, and though some times were hard

[01:00.355]Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

[01:02.364]No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

[01:04.624]But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

[01:07.580]Even at the end, their love was stronger than the day that they first met

[01:15.112]They’d say

[01:16.116]The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[01:18.875]If we got each other, and that's all we have

[01:21.136]I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:23.647]You should know I'll be there for you

[01:25.905]When the world's not perfect

[01:27.161]When the world's not kind

[01:28.415]If we have each other then we'll both be fine

[01:30.665]I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

[01:33.427]You should know I'll be there for you

[01:43.238]You should know I'll be there for you

[01:45.749]I'm 23, and my folks are getting old

[01:48.008]I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone

[01:50.519]So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight

[01:52.779]When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived

[01:55.290]I know she'd never leave me

[01:56.545]And I hate to see her cry

[01:57.802]So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:00.311]I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side

[02:02.571]I wrote this verse to tell her that

[02:04.328]The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

[02:06.839]If we got each other, and that's all we have

[02:09.100]I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand

[02:12.111]You should know I'll be there for you

[02:13.866]When the world's not perfect

[02:15.121]When the world's not kind

[02:16.628]If we have each other then we'll both be fine
