A House Is Not A Home Lyrics By Dionne Warwick

    a chair is still a chair
    even though there’s no one sitting there

    refrain
    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 though there’s nothing there but gloom

    refrain
    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

    refrain
    i’m not meant to live alone
    turn this house into a home
    when i climb the stairs
    and turn the key
    oh please be there
    still in love with me

    refrain
    i’m not meant to live alone
    turn this house into a home
    when i climb the stairs
    and turn the key
    oh please be there
    still in love with me
