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 there 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

And when it ends, it ends in tears



So darling, have a heart, don't let one mistake keep us apart

Well, 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
