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
   An' no one there
   You can kiss goodnight . . .
  
   A room is 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
   An' one of us
   Has a broken heart . . .
  
   Now an' then
   I call your name
   An' 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 stair
   An' turn the key
   Oh please be there
   Still in love with me . . .
