BARBRA STREISAND - One Less Bell To Answer/a House Is Not A Home lyrics

rate me

One less bell to answer

One less egg to fry

One less man to pick up after

I should be happy

But all I do is cry

Cry, cry, no more laughter / Oh, I should be happy

Oh, why did he go?

I only know that since he left

My life's so empty

Thought I try to forget

It just can't be done

Each time the doorbell rings

I still run

I don't know how in the world

To stop thinking of him / I should be happy

Cause I still love him so

I end each day the way I start out / I start and end each day crying

Crying my heart out

One less bell to answer

One less egg to fry

One less man to pick up after

No more laughter

No more love

Since he went away

Since he went away

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 goodnight

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

And when it ends

It ends in tears

So 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

One less bell to answer / Each time the doorbell rings, I still run

One less egg to fry / I'm lucky I've got one less man

One less man / to pick up after

No more laughter

No more love

Since he went away

Since he went away

All I do is cry.
