You And Me Against The World

(Tell me again, Mommy)
You and me against the world.
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world.
When all the others turn their back and walk away
You can count on me to stay.

Remember when the circus came to town
and you were frightened by the clown?
Wasn't it nice to be around
Someone that you knew?
Someone who was big and strong and looking out for
You and me against the world.
Sometimes it feels like you and me against the world.
And for all the times we've cried
I always felt that God was on our side.

And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through.

Think about the days of me and you
You and me against the world.

And when one of us is gone
And one of us is left to carry on.
Then remembering will have to do
Our memories alone will get us through.

Think about the days of me and you
You and me against the world.

I love you, Mommy.

I love you too, Babe.
