"A House Is Not A Home" lyrics
"A House Is Not A Home"
A chair is still a chair even when there's no one sitting there
But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one you can kiss good night
A room is still a room even when there's nothing there but gloom
But a room is not a house and a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart and one of us has a broken heart
Now and then I call your name and suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game when it ends it ends in tears
Darling, have a heart, don't let one mistake keep us apart
I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn my key
Oh, please be there still in love with me
Oh, oh, oh, I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Darling, please be there still in love with me
