i love this song
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 barley 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 its alright she was waiting for the day she hoped her baby would arrive she'd never be alone have someone to hold and when the nights were cold she'd say the world's not perfect but its not that bad if we have eachother and thats all we have i will be your mother and il hold your hand you should know il 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 il hold your hand you should know il be there for you They were 90 and 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 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 dident have the money to afford a fancy car but they would never have to travel cause they would never be apart even at the end their love was stronger then the day that they first met they'd say the world's not perfect but it's not that bad if we have each other and thats all we have i will be your lover and il hold your hand you should know il be there for you when the worlds not perfect when the world is not kind i will be your lover and
