a house is not a home (Ella fitzgerald)

 

Bij de show van Lenette kwam de prachtige zin, het maakt niet uit wat je bereikt in je leven, een strak lijf, een goede functie etc, alles wat je na laat in het leven is een lege stoel.. en dat vond ik zo treffend dat ik meteen dacht, laat het toch los dat getob met dat gewicht.. geniet met volle teugen van wat je kan en doet.
moest ook meteen aan dit prachtiger lied denken van ella...  a house is not a home.. 

 

 A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sittin' thereBut a chair is not a house and a house is not a homeWhen there's no one there to hold you tightAnd no one there you can kiss goodnight
Whoa, ohh, girl
A room is still a room, oh, even when there's nothin' there but gloomBut a room is not a house and a house is not a homeWhen the two of us are far apartAnd one of us has a broken heart
Now and then I call your nameAnd suddenly your face appearsBut it's just a crazy gameWhen it ends, it ends in tears
Pretty little darling, have a heart, don't let one mistake keep us apartI'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a homeWhen I climb the stairs and turn the keyOh, please be there, sayin' that you're still in love with me, yeah
I'm not meant to live alone, turn this house into a homeWhen I climb the stairs and turn the keyOh, please be there, still in loveI said still in loveStill in love with me, yeah
Are you gonna be in love with me?I want you and need you to be, yeahStill in love with meSay you're gonna be in love with meIt's drivin' me crazy to think that my babyCouldn't be still in love with me
Are you gonna be, say you're gonna beAre you gonna be, say you're gonna beAre you gonna be, say you're gonna beWell, well, well, wellStill in love, so in love, still in love with me?Are you gonna beSay that you're gonna be
Still in love with me, yeah With me, ohh
Still in love with me, yeah
