Lyrics
Standing in Your Doorway
Music and Lyrics by Lynda Dobbin-Turner
V1
Walking down this dusty road alone
My heart weighs in me like a stone
I hear your voice on every gentle breeze
The sunlight falls upon my face
It warms me just like your embrace
The thought of you just brings me to my knees
CHORUS
And now I'm standing, in your doorway
I'm hoping you may let me in
Because I'm willing, to do things your way
If you'd just show me, how to begin
Doo'n'doo
Doo'n'doo
Doo'n'doo
V2
The memory of you haunts my mind
And all the things we left behind
I think about you every minute of each day
The promises we couldn't keep
Those conversations in my sleep
Where I can say all those things I so need to say.
CHORUS
And now I'm standing, in your doorway
I'm hoping you may let me in
Because I'm willing, to do things your way
If you'd just show me, how to begin
Doo'n'doo
Doo'n'doo
Doo'n'doo
V3
The essence of you still remains
And I know I'm forever changed,
I've a different view of everything I see
Like a ripple landing on the shore
Alters the sand for evermore
That's exactly what you've done to me
CHORUS
And now I'm standing, in your doorway
I'm hoping you may let me in
Because I'm willing, to do things your way
If you'd just show me, how to begin
Doo'n'doo
Doo'n'doo
Doo'n'doo
Refrain
I'm standing in line
I'm biding my time
They all say I'll be fine
But this is gonna take time
Doo'n'doo
Doo'n'doo
Doo'n'doo
