There was a time
And there was a place
And there are memories
And there was a girl
Such a beautiful girl
Her name was Melody
And she had a smile
Such a shining smile
Could light the city skies at night
And all the late-night clubbers say
That they can still remember the way
She used to dance
Melody danced her way right into my heart
Melody stole my heart and danced away
Now she used to have a man
And the man's name was Sam
He was the ultimate anti-hero
And he used to drink and he used to fight
And he used to beat her almost every night
He used to hurt her so
And I would get so damn angry
Up in my small room
But I could only cry for her
And to this day, I still wonder
What it was that made her stay
Why did you stay?
Melody danced her way right into my heart
Melody stole my heart and danced away
Melody, Melody
Should be walking by me
Should be standing by me
Melody
Melody, Melody
Should be walking by me
Should be standing by me, Melody
There was a time
(Melody)
And there was a place
(Should be walking by me)
And there are memories
(Should be standing by me, Melody)
And there was a girl
(Melody)
Such a beautiful girl
(Should be walking by me)
Her name was Melody
(Should be standing by me)
Melody danced her way right into my heart
Melody stole my heart and danced away
Melody danced her way right into my heart
Melody stole my heart and danced away
Melody danced her way right into my heart
Melody stole my heart and danced away
Melody was written by Tony Lester & Malcolm Burn.
