(burt bacharach / hal david)

a chair is still a chair
even 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 is still a room
even though 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 voice 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

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

(e. holland / l. dozier / b. holland)

i broke your heart
and i made you blue
instead of hurting back
you said "i love you"
that very day you won my heart
and my love for you shall never part

you have such an understanding way
and i appreciate you need what i say
’cause a love like yours don’t come knock, knock, knock, knocking
knock, knocking everyday

although i treated you bad from the start
without question you gave me your heart
no, a love like yours don’t come knock, knock, knock, knocking
knock, knocking everyday

it’s the little things you do
oh, that mean so much
so very, very much
(consideration), i never knew
that is, until i met you
believe me

you made my life complete
and i know our love with all of my mind
you can believe gonna hold on tight
’cause a love like yours don’t come knock, knock, knock, knocking
knock, knocking everyday

no, a love like yours don’t come knock, knock, knock, knocking
knock, knocking everyday

it’s the little things you do
that mean so much
so very very much
(consideration), no i never knew
that is, until i met you
believe me

you made my life complete
and i know our love with all of my mind
you can believe gonna hold on tight
’cause a love like yours don’t come knock, knock, knock, knocking
knock, knocking everyday
i said a love like yours, it don’t come knocking
knock, knocking everyday
i said a love like yours, it don’t come, it don’t come knocking
knock, knocking everyday
’cause a love like yours, it don’t come knocking

(leon russell)

i’ve been so many places
in my life and time
i’ve sung a lot of songs
i made some bad rhymes

i’ve acted out my life in stages
ten thousand people watching
but we’re alone now
i’m singing this song for you

i know your image of me
is what i hope to be
i treated you unkindly
but darling can’t you see?
there’s no-one more important to me
oh, baby, can’t you please see through me?
’cause we’re alone now and
i’m singing this song for you

you taught me precious secrets
of the truth withholding nothing
you came out in front
i was hiding
oh, but now i’m so much better
if the words don’t come together
just listen to the melody
’cause my love in there hiding
ooh, ooh

oh, i love you in a place
where there’s no space or time
love you for my life
you are a friend of mine
and when my life is over
remember when we were together
we were alone and
i was singing this song for you
we were alone
i was singing this song for you, oh
singing
i was singing, singing, singing, singing, singing this song for you
oh, yes
singing this song for you

(sylvia moy / norman whitfield / cornelius grant)

into my life
you brought a glowing love
like a ray of sunshine
from up above
one day out of a clear blue sky
you darkened my life with your words "goodbye"
that’s the day you left me for a stranger
don’t you know that when you left my life
took on a change-a?

now i’m telling you it
ain’t no sun since you’ve been gone

there’s a big black cloud hanging over my head
cloud of loneliness i feel like i’m dead
ain’t no flowers blooming round here for sure
since you chose to love me no more
i guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, boy
you took the life from my world
crushed my dreams
and i don’t mean maybe, baby, baby
and it ain’t no sun since you’ve been gone

oh, my future, my future
was as bright as the sun, yes it was
i ain’t got no future since you’ve been gone

i guess you know you took my sunshine away from me baby, yes you did
you took the life from my world
crushed my dreams
and i don’t mean maybe, baby, baby
it seems like night in the middle of the day
everything around me is faded and grey
cold are the days
dark creeps the night
never bringing you back into my life
it ain’t no sun since you’ve been gone

you took my sunshine away, yeah ooh, ooh, ooh
you took my sunshine away, yes you did, ooh, ooh, ooh
you took my sunshine away, yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh
you took my sunshine away, oh

(kaye / philinger)
