A House Is Not A Home - Ella Fitzgerald

A House Is Not A Home
Ella Fitzgerald

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
And no one there you can kiss goodnight

A room is a still a room, even when there's nothin' there but gloom
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 speak 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 stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there, still in love with me

It's so nice to have a man around the house
It's so nice to have a man around the house

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 there, still in love with me

A house is not a home
A home is not a house
A house is not a home and a home is not a house without a man
Without a man
