Little Rita lost her home
Twenty years going 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 fireman 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 timе that you'll be fine
And evеrything will be alright

Alright, alright
Yeah, everything will be alright
Alright, alright

Luke is pulling out his hair
'Cause sometimes life just isn't fair
And 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 will be alright

Alright, alright
Yeah, everything will be alright
Alright, alright

Brinkley smiles amidst the fire
He's just glad to see her eyes
Love is all that matters, anyway
(Love is all that matters, anyway)
I know it's scary, I know it's sad
So kiss your mom 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 will be alright

Alright, alright
Yeah, everything will be alright
Alright, alright
And everything will be alright
