Notes

she was 19 with a baby on the way on the east-side of the city, she was working everyday, cleaning dishes in the evening she could barely stay awake she was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change, and across town she'd take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment, and she'd turn on the light she would sit down at the table, tell herself that its alright she was waiting on the day that she hoped her baby would arrive she'd never be alone have someone to hold, and when nights were cold she'd say......... the word'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 ill hold your hand you should know ill be their for you, and the worlds not perfect, when the worlds 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 made and their 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. and they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car but that 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 worlds not perfect but its 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, and the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind if we have each other than 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 ill be their 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 worlds not perfect but its 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, and the worlds not perfect, when the worlds 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 ill be their for you....
