A House Is Not A Home

Shirley Bassey · Other Songs - Shirley Bassey

A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sittin' 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 a still a room, even when there's nothin' 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 the key

Oh, please be there, sayin' that you're still in love with me,



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



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
