When Your House Is Not A Home Lyrics - Jean Shepard

I walk up to my door and hate to turn the key 

Emptiness is all that's left inside for me 

That's how it is when the one you love is gone 

That's how it is when your house is not a home 

I look around and see things marked with his and hers 

Things like these just seem to make things that much worse 

That's how it is since I live my life alone 

That's how it is since my house is not a home 

Is there a way out for a soul so torn as mine? 

Each day I'm living like a prisoner passing time 

That's how it is ask anyone who lives alone 

That's how it is when your house is not a home
