Brook Benton A House Is Not A Home Lyrics

A House Is Not A Home Lyrics

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.
