Melissa Lyrics

You shine the light Melissa
You really took it all yourself
You sang a lot of love songs, and wrote some
You knew it all so well

You lead the way Melissa
You're going to ride the chariot
Everybody cheers and cries some
We'll keep on standing up

Now that the one you love is gone
You are the girl to carry on
Now that you've taken off your cross
Love is not lost
Love is not lost

You've seen it all Melissa
You're going to wear Elijah's clothes
You give yourself completely
You walk salvation's road

You shine the light Melissa
You really took it all yourself
You sang a lot of love songs, and wrote some
You knew it all so well

You lead the way Melissa
You're going to ride the chariot
Everybody cheers and cries some
We'll keep on standing up

If you believe in love
If you believe in love
Love is not lost

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
