House Is Not a Home

(bacharach/david) A chair is still a chair Even when no one is not sitting there But a chair is not a house 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 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 you name And suddenly a face appears But it's just a crazy game That when it ends It ends in tears Oh, so darling, have a heart Don't let one mistake keep us apart A hurt man to live alone Turn this house into a home When I climb the stairs and turn the key Please be there Still in love with me Oh darling, have a heart Don't let one mistake keep us apart A hurt man to live alone Turns this house into a home When I climb the stairs and turn the key Please be there Still in love with me Still in love with me
