A House Is Not a Home
Finding Home Amidst Absence: Embracing Love's True Essence
Lyrics
A chair is still a chair
A chair remains a chair, retains its identity and purpose
Even when there's no one sittin' there
Even when no one is occupying it
But a chair is not a house
However, a chair doesn't equate to a house
And a house is not a home
And a house doesn't equate to a home
When there's no one there,
When there's no one present
To hold you tight
To embrace you closely
An' no one there
And no one there
You can kiss goodnight...
You can share a goodnight kiss with
A room is still a room
A room remains a room, a physical space
Even when there's nothin' there but gloom
Even when it's filled with sadness
But a room is not a house
However, a room isn't equivalent to a house
And a house is not a home
And a house isn't equivalent to a home
When the two of us
When both of us
Are far apart
Are physically distant
An' one of us
And one of us
Has a broken heart...
Is emotionally wounded
Now an' then
Occasionally
I call your name
I utter your name
An' suddenly your face appears
And suddenly your image appears
But it's just a crazy game
Yet it's merely a futile game
When it ends
When it concludes
It ends in tears...
It culminates in tears
Darling have a heart
My love, please understand
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
Don't allow a single error to separate us
I'm not meant to live alone
I'm not destined to exist in solitude
Turn this house into a home
Transform this house into a nurturing, loving home
When i climb the stair
As I ascend the stairs
An' turn the key
And unlock the door
Oh please be there
Oh, please be there
Still in love with me...
Still cherishing our love
I'm not meant to live alone
I'm not destined to exist in solitude
Turn this house into a home
Transform this house into a nurturing, loving home
When i climb the stair
As I ascend the stairs
An' turn the key
And unlock the door
Oh please be there
Oh, please be there
Still in love with me . . .
Still cherishing our love
