One Less Bell To Answer/a House Is Not A Home Lyrics by Barbra Streisand

One Less Bell To Answer/a House Is Not A Home

Mmm. . .
One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man to pick up after
I should be happy
But all I do is cry, cry
No more laughter
[Oh I should be happy]
Oh why did he go
I only know that since he left
My life's so empty
Though I try to forget
It just can't be done
Each time the doorbell rings
I still run
I don't know how in the world
To stop thinking of him
[I should be happy]
'Cause I still. love him so
I end each day the way I started
Crying my heart out
[Start and end each day crying]
One less bell to answer
One less egg to fry
One less man
[One less man]
To pick up after
No more laughter, no more laughter
Since he went away
[Since he went away]
Since he went away
Mmm... 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 ever 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
And when it ends, it ends in tears
So darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
Oh, 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
One less bell to answer
Each time the doorbell rings I still run
One less egg to fry
[I got one less man]
To pick up after
[No more laughter]
No more laughter
No more laughter...
Since he went away,
[Since he went away]
Since he went away...
All I do is cry...
