If We Have Each Other Song Lyrics
She was 19 with a baby on the wayOn the East-side of the city, she was working every dayCleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awakeShe was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna changeAnd, ‘cross town she would take the bus at nightTo a one-bedroom apartment, and when she’d turn on the lightShe would sit down at the table, tell herself that it’s alrightShe was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
She’d never be aloneHave someone to holdAnd when nights were coldShe’d say
The world’s not perfect, but it’s not that badIf we got each other, and that’s all we haveI will be your mother, and I’ll hold your handYou should know I’ll be there for youWhen the world’s not perfectWhen the world’s not kindIf we have each other, then we’ll both be fineI will be your mother, and I’ll hold your handYou should know I’ll be there for you
They were 90 and were living out their daysOn the West-side of the city next to where they got engagedThey had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they’d madeAnd though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayedWith each other, and though some times were hardEven when she made him angry he would never break her heartNo, they didn’t have the money to afford a fancy carBut they never had to travel ’cause they’d never be apart
Even at the endTheir love was stronger thanThe day that they first metThey’d say
The world’s not perfect, but it’s not that badIf we got each other, and that’s all we haveI will be your lover, and I’ll hold your handYou should know I’ll be there for youWhen the world’s not perfectWhen the world’s not kindIf we have each other, then we’ll both be fineI will be your lover, and I’ll hold your handYou 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 oldI know they don’t have forever and I’m scared to be aloneSo I’m thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fightWhen high school wasn’t easy, she’s the reason I survivedI know she’d never leave me and I hate to see her crySo I wrote this verse to tell her that I’m always by her sideI wrote this verse to tell her that I’m always by her sideI wrote this verse to tell her that
The world’s not perfect, but it’s not that badIf we got each other, and that’s all we haveI will be your brother, and I’ll hold your handYou should know I’ll be there for youWhen the world’s not perfectWhen the world’s not kindIf we have each other, then we’ll both be fineI will be your brother, and I’ll hold your handYou should know I’ll be there for you
You should know I’ll be there for you
