A House Is Not A Home Lyrics


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 there you can kiss good nightA 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 heartNow and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends, it ends in tearsDarling, 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 the key

Oh, please be there still in love with me
