    Lyrics:
    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
    I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
    I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
    So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
    When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
    I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry
    So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
    I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
    I wrote this verse to tell her that
    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 brother, 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 brother, and I'll hold your hand
    You should know I'll be there for you
    You should know I'll be there for you

    Lyrics
    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
    I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
    I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
    So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
    When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
    I know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry
    So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
    I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
    I wrote this verse to tell her that
    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 brother, 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 brother, and I'll hold your hand
    You should know I'll be there for you
    You should know I'll be there for you
    Leave a like :)))

      im so sorry... must be hard, most ppl wish not to have they're siblings but its not until they are gone till you really miss them.. my grandad (dads side) died when i was 2, then my grandma (moms side) died when i was like 7 i think
      then other grandma died when i was 9-10... i didnt realize how much i missed them, but sometimes you have to move on even if times are hard and do what they would have wanted you to do
