(burt bacharach / hal david) A chair is still a chair Even though 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 though 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 voice appears But it's just a crazy game When it endsit ends in tears Darlinghave 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 Ohplease 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 Ohplease be there Still in love with me
