Cover art for Melissa lyrics by Allman Brothers Band, The

This song will always remind me of this one lovely young lady named Melissa (though she preferred Missy). We were pretty good friends, and after I moved away, we lost touch. I can't hear the song without seeing her face, though, and remembering all the good times. Wherever you are, darlin' I hope you're doing well.

@Grayhawk my name is melissa and everybody always called me Missy when i was young-i love it-but sadly very few people call me that anymore😢 i loved your comment in NJ it felt like someone remembered me.

@Grayhawk Did you just reply to a comment written 18 years ago? Out of curiosity, I thought I’d checkout SongMeanings for one of my all time favorite songs and yourcomment appeared… Boom…Wow…Cool!

@Grayhawk hello who are you? I feel like I know you lol
