Brook Benton - A House Is Not A Home (Stereo) lyrics

rate me

A chair is still a chair<br />

Even when there's no one sitting there<br />

But a chair is not a house<br />

And a house is not a home<br />

When there's no one there to hold you tight,<br />

And no one there you can kiss good night.<br />

<br />

A room is still a room<br />

Even when there's nothing there but gloom;<br />

But a room is not a house,<br />

And a house is not a home<br />

When the two of us are far apart<br />

And one of us has a broken heart.<br />

<br />

Now and then I call your name<br />

And suddenly your face appears<br />

But it's just a crazy game<br />

When it ends it ends in tears.<br />

<br />

Darling, have a heart,<br />

Don't let one mistake keep us apart.<br />

I'm not meant to live alone. Turn this house into a home.<br />

When I climb the stair and turn the key,<br />

Oh, please be there still in love with me.
