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
