Little Rita

Little Rita lost her home Twenty years gone up in smoke Standing in the ash of all she knew Sweets is crying on the phone 'Cause she's not quite sure where to go And the firemen can't save the baby shoes I know this life isn't easy But you know that I will be right here You know that love's all you need dear And someone who can dry your tears 'Cause home is where the heart is And my heart is always near I promise in due time that you'll be fine And everything'll be alright Alright, alright Yeah everything will be alright Alright, alright Luke is pulling out his hair 'Cause sometimes life just isn't fair Mama's boy's been holding back his tears Papa can't help cracking jokes 'Cause laughter's how he learned to cope He can't yet say goodbye to the golden years I know this life isn't easy But you know that I will be right here You know that love's all you need dear And someone who can dry your tears 'Cause home is where the heart is And my heart is always near I promise in due time that you'll be fine And everything'll be alright Alright, alright Yeah everything will be alright Alright, alright Brinkly smiles amidst the fire He's just glad to see your eyes Love is all that matters anyway (Love is all that matters) I know it's scary, I know it's sad So kiss your mama and hug your dad 'Cause no one knows how long they really have (Thank you mommy, thank you daddy) I know this life isn't easy But you know that I will be right here You know that love's all you need dear And someone who can dry your tears 'Cause home is where the heart is And my heart is always near I promise in due time that you'll be fine And everything'll be alright Alright, alright Yeah everything will be alright Alright, alright And everything will be alright
