Dionne Warwick

A house is not a home

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!
