A House Is Not A Home Lyrics
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
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
And suddenly your face appears
But it’s just a crazy game
When it ends it ends in tears
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
I've often wondered about the bridge verse: "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"
Does this mean they repeatedly get together again for a bit but inevitably break up? Or is this just imaginary (making it all the more pathetic and sad)?
I heard a song called "Slow Jamz", performed by Twista, Kanye West and Jamie Foxx, witch contains a sample of "A house is not a home". I LOVE that part of "Slow Jamz" so I found "A House is not a home", performed by Luther Vandross, on the internet and I was blown away! I can't remember the last song that thoughed me as much as this did. It's sung with so much heart and soul, almost desperately, at the end, where his practically begging for her, to still love him. It's unbelieverble! Thank you Burt Bacharach and Luther Vandross for this beautiful, BEAUTIFUL song.
