A chair is still a chair
Even when there`s no one sittin` 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
An` no one there
You can kiss goodnight . . .
A room is still a room
Even when there`s nothin` 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
An` one of us
Has a broken heart . . .
Now an` then
I call your name
An` 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 stair
An` 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 stair
An` turn the key
Oh please be there
Still in love with me . . .
