Alec Benjamin - If We Have Each Other(2018)

[00:00.56] She was 19 with a baby on the way
[00:03.08] On the East-side of the city, she was working every day
[00:05.66] Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
[00:08.45] She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
[00:11.33] And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night
[00:13.84] To a one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light
[00:16.60] She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright
[00:19.48] She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
[00:22.44] She'd never be alone
[00:25.59] Have someone to hold
[00:28.33] And when nights were cold
[00:31.28] She'd say
[00:32.72] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
[00:35.36] If we got each other, and that's all we have
[00:38.35] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
[00:41.46] You should know I'll be there for you
[00:43.72] When the world's not perfect
[00:45.45] When the world's not kind
[00:46.63] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
[00:49.32] I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
[00:52.44] You should know I'll be there for you
[00:55.40] They were 90 and were living out their days
[00:58.40] On the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
[01:01.21] They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
[01:04.12] And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
[01:07.43] With each other, and though some times were hard
[01:09.89] Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
[01:12.39] No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
[01:15.17] But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
[01:18.15] Even at the end
[01:21.10] Their love was stronger than
[01:24.03] The day that they first met
[01:26.74] They'd say
[01:28.36] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
[01:31.09] If we got each other, and that's all we have
[01:33.98] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
[01:37.00] You should know I'll be there for you
[01:39.39] When the world's not perfect
[01:41.06] When the world's not kind
[01:42.34] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
[01:45.09] I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
[01:48.19] You should know I'll be there for you
[01:51.64]
[01:59.13] You should know I'll be there for you
[02:02.20] I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
[02:05.06] I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
[02:07.99] So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
[02:10.87] When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
[02:13.50] I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry
[02:16.15] So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:19.00] I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
[02:21.92] I wrote this verse to tell her that
[02:24.09] The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
[02:26.41] If we got each other, and that's all we have
[02:29.32] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
[02:32.30] You should know I'll be there for you
[02:35.03] When the world's not perfect
[02:36.35] When the world's not kind
[02:37.61] If we have each other, then we'll both be fine
[02:40.32] I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
[02:43.43] You should know I'll be there for you
[02:47.11]
[02:54.55] You should know I'll be there for you
[02:56.65]
