[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

[01:30.665]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
