A chair is still a chair Even though there's no one sitting there 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 a face appears But it's just a pain that ends, 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 stairs and turn the key Oh please be there still in love with me 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
