Burt Bacharach
A House Is Not a Home
[Verse 1]
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 night
[Verse 2]
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 brok - en heart
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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 and turn the key
Oh, please be there, still in love with me
