A House Is Not a Home

A House Is Not A Home - Brook Benton
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
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 your name
And 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 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 stair and turn the key
Oh, please, be there still in love with me
