A House Is Not A Home

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 . . .
