How about A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME
I don't remember the exact lyrics but something like:
A chair is still a chair, even when no one's sitting there
But a chair is not a house, and a house is not a home when you're not there
That's the sentiment and logical/emotional flow anyway. Love it!!

Yes, more genius from Hal David and superbly orchestrated by Burt, written in 1964
A chair is still a chair,
Even when there's 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
I just dug out one of my Bacharach & David Original Song albums (ca. 1970) to check the lyrics. The album contains:
- Wives and Lovers
- Magic Moments
- In Times Like These
- Make It Easy On Yourself
- Loving Is A Way Of Living
- A House Is Not a Home
- The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
- Blue On Blue
- The Story Of My Life
- With Open Arms
And the price is on the front cover? Try 60 cents.
