A chair is still a chair
A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sitting there
Even when there's no one sitting there
But a chair is not a house
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight,
When there's no one there to hold you tight,
And no one there you can kiss good night.
And no one there you can kiss good night.
A room is still a room
A room is still a room
Even when there's nothing there but gloom;
Even when there's nothing there but gloom;
But a room is not a house,
But a room is not a house,
And a house is not a home
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart.
And one of us has a broken heart.
Now and then I call your name
Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends it ends in tears.
When it ends it ends in tears.
Darling, have a heart,
Darling, have a heart,
Don't let one mistake keep us apart.
Don't let one mistake keep us apart.
I'm not meant to live alone. turn this house into a home.
I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a home.
When I climb the stair and turn the key,
When I climb the stair and turn the key,
Oh, please be there still in love with me.
Oh, please be there still in love with me.
