Promises Promises - A House Is Not a Home Lyrics

2010 Broadway revival
Promises, Promises the Musical - A House Is Not a Home Lyrics

The song is written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

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 goodnight

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 stair and turn the key
Oh, please be there, still in love with me

We're 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
