A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME

A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME sang by Dusty Springfield and composed by Burt Bacharach

A chair still a chair
even though 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 still a room
even though there's nothing there but gloom
But a room is not a house
and a house is not home
when the 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
and 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 here 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
Still be there, still in love with me

A house is no longer a home, if the occupant is brokenhearted, and either of the partner is “ nangapitbahay” as they say in Filipino. (gone to another nest)
