[00:01.590]She was19 with a baby on the way
[00:02.550]On the East- side of the city
[00:04.290]She was working every day
[00:05.580]Cleaning dishes in the evening
[00:07.050]She could barely stay awake
[00:08.370]She was clinging to the feeling
[00:09.810]That her luck was gonna change
[00:11.790]And'cross town
[00:12.690]She would take the bus at night
[00:13.890]To a one bedroom apartment
[00:15.450]And whenshe'd turn on the light
[00:16.680]She would sit down at the table
[00:18.150]Tell herself thatit's alright
[00:19.770]She was waiting on the day
[00:20.760]She hoped her baby would arrive
[00:23.640]She'd never be alone
[00:24.660]Have someone to hold
[00:25.110]And when nights were cold
[00:31.950]She'd say
[00:32.790]Theworld's not perfect
[00:34.110]Butit's not that bad
[00:35.550]If we got each other
[00:36.900]Andthat's all we have

[00:39.810]AndI'll hold your hand
[00:41.580]You should knowI'll be there for you
[00:43.830]When theworld's not perfect

[00:55.560]They were90 and were living out their days
[00:58.410]On the West- side of the city next to where they got engaged
[01:01.170]They had pictures on the walls
[01:02.460]Of all the memories thatthey'd made
[01:03.960]And though life was never easy
[01:05.340]They were thankful that they stayed
[01:06.900]With each other
[01:08.310]And though some times were hard
[01:09.540]Even when she made him angry
[01:10.890]He would never break her heart
[01:12.240]No theydidn't have the money
[01:13.620]To afford a fancy car
[01:15.030]But they never had to travel
[01:16.410]'Causethey'd never be apart
[01:23.130]Even at the end
[01:23.460]Their love was stronger than
[01:24.060]The day that they first met
[01:25.770]They'd say
[01:28.290]Theworld's not perfect butit's not that bad
[01:31.050]If we got each other andthat's all we have
[01:33.810]I will be your lover andI'll hold your hand
