Jimmy Cliff - You Left Me Standing By The Door

You left me standing by the door.
You left me standing by the door.
I know troubles won't last too long,
But give me the strength and courage,
To carry on.
You left me standing by the door.
That was yesterday.
You left me standing by the door.

Farewell, you bid me in the prison,
But a light shone through,
Showing me a new horizon.
Pain is just a stimulant to make you grow,
So I made it through and I think you should know.

You left me standing by the door.
That was yesterday.
You left me standing by the door.
I know troubles won't last too long,
God give me the strength and courage,
To carry on.
You left me standing by the door.
You left me standing by the door.

I was unaware of the chains that had me bound,
While you were excited 'bout the new life that was found.
I prayed for guidance from above,
'Cause I've been forgotten and no one to show me love.

You left me standing by the door.
You left me standing by the door..
