Oh, yeah, my Melanie makes me smile
And melts away the pain
A little light comes shining
Into my life again

And with my Melanie in my arms
The world's a warmer place
A little light comes shining
Down upon my face

I feel it, baby, shining in my face

I just have to hold
Her head upon my shoulder
And tell her that I'm feeling low
And I've got no place I can go

And I say darling (darling, darling)
I need you (I need you)
And she lifts her head up
Kinda slow, oh, oh

And then my Melanie makes me smile
And melts away the pain
A little light comes shining
Into my life again

And with my Melanie in my arms
The world's a warmer place
A little light comes shining
Down upon my face

I feel it, feel it, shining in my face

Oh, sometimes when I'm lonely
I know there is only
One girl I just gotta see
I call her up and she's free

Oh, I say darling (darling, darling)
I need you (I need you)
And she comes running
Straight to me, oh, oh

And then my Melanie makes me smile
And melts away the pain
A little light comes shining
Into my life again

And with my Melanie in my arms
The world's a warmer place
A little light comes shining
