A House Is Not A Home lyrics

(Burt Bacharach)

A chair is still a chair

Even though 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 goodnight

Now and then I call your name

And suddenly your voice appears

But it's just a crazy game

When it ends, it ends in tears

(Dusty Springfield)

A chair is still a chair

Even though 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 goodnight

A room is still a room

Even though 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 voice 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 stairs

And turn the key

Oh, please be there

Still in love with me

(Burt Bacharach + Dusty Springfield)

I'm not meant to live alone

Turn this house into a home

When I climb the stairs

And turn the key

Oh, please be there

Still in love with me
