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
The odds were 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
Of you and me against the world
Remember when the circus came to town

And for all the times we’ve cried I always felt that

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
Of you and me against the world
You and me against the world
You and me against the world
mom ,every day is so hard without you. when I lost u I lost my best friend. but remembering is what will help me get thru losing u. and bring some light back in my life. loving u always.
Beautiful....great memories back then....my mom passed away in 1979 after a lengthy illness of about 7 years....I was just out of college by a few years at that time.....when this song was first released in 1974, I immediately thought of my mom and all that we had gone through together while I was growing up. Today, it reminds me of her more than any other song I know of. Not embarrassingly I confess I cry each time I hear it. She was always there for me and I strove so much to be there for her until the end. She's with Jesus now and I look forward to seeing her again! I love and miss you, momma!
I was in the toy section of Walmart, shopping for my niece's 1year old daughter...
This song popped on , 60 seconds later I cried.
Praise God the 43 years I had Her❤
My Mom and I drove to Los Angeles from St Louis in the early 70s and this was on the radio constantly. I look back now and the song was really about what she was doing for me, and what we were up against at the time. I miss her greatly.
I danced with my mother to this song at my wedding. I was an unemployed high school drop out marrying the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. A young scared kid holding on for dear life. My mom was a single mother of six kids. She worked three jobs for as long as I can remember. My older brothers and sister worked and contributed just to make sure we could eat and have heat and open gifts on Christmas. 30 years later I am still married to that beautiful girl, with a granddaughter of my own. My mom is gone but not forgotten. She was the greatest woman I had ever known. A mother, a father, a role model and so much more. She always felt she could never give us all she wanted, but she gave us more than anyone could ever ask for. She gave me a family. Brothers and sisters who will always be there for me no matter what. Family is the greatest gift.
This was mine and my beloved mother's song. We were best friends and we made a pact that if I lived to be 100 she'd live to be 125 because she was 25 when I was born. She only made it to 77 and ya know, mommy, the memories are wonderful...but most days they are just not enough...I love you Mommy, Joanne
