If We Have Each Other (Always By Her Side) [Sped Up Version]

She was 19 with a baby on the way

On the east side of the city, she was working every day

Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake

She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change

And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night

To a one bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light

She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright

She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive

She'd never be alone

Have someone to hold

And when nights were cold

She'd say

The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

If we got each other, and that's all we have

I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

You should know I'll be there for you

When the world's not perfect

When the world's not kind

If we have each other then we'll both be fine

I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand

You should know I'll be there for you

They were 90 and were living out their days

On the west side of the city next to where they got engaged

They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made

And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed

With each other, and though some times were hard

Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart

No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car

But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart

Even at the end

Their love was stronger than

The day that they first met

They'd say

The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad

If we got each other, and that's all we have

I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

You should know I'll be there for you

When the world's not perfect

When the world's not kind

If we have each other then we'll both be fine

I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand

You should know I'll be there for you

You should know I'll be there for you
