Oh yeah, my Melanie makes me smile

And melts away the pai-ain

A little light comes shinin'

Into my life again



And with my Melanie in my arms

The world's a warmer pla-ace

A little light comes shinin'

Down upon my face

I feel it, baby, shinin' on my face



I just have to hold her head upon my shoulder

And tell her that I'm feelin' low-ow

And I've got no place I can go

And I say darlin' (darlin', darlin')

I need you (I nee-eed you)

And she lifts her head up kinda slow, oh-oh



And than my Melanie makes me smile

And melts away the pain

I little light comes shinin'

Into my life again



And with my Melanie in my arms

The world's a warmer pla-ace

A little light comes shinin'

Down upon my face

I feel it, feel it, shinin' in my face



Oh sometimes when I'm lonely

I know there is only

One girl I just have to see-ee

I call her up, and she's free

And I say darlin', (darlin', darlin')

I need you (I nee-eed you)

And she comes runnin' straight to me, oh-oh



And then my Melanie makes me smile

And melts away the pain

A little light comes shinin'

Into my life again



And with my Melanie in my arms

The world's a warmer place

A little light comes shinin' [fade]
