A House Is Not A Home lyrics

(burt bacharach / hal david)

A chair is still a chair
Even though 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 goodnight

A room is still a room
Even though 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 voice 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 the key
Oh, please be there
Still in love with me

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
