Lyrics

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 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 stairs and turn my key Oh, please be there still in love with me Oh-oh-oh, I'm not meant to live alone Turn this house into a home When I climb the stairs and turn the key Darling, please be there still in love with me
