Lyrics
Verse 1: Melissa Marie, come sit on my knee and I'll tell you a story of a long time ago. This story's been told to both young and old about a girl named Melissa, Melissa Marie. A pretty young babe with eyes of blue, long blonde hair and fair skin too. She was a pretty, a pretty to see and her name was Melissa, Melissa Marie.(Bridge) And Oh how I loved that girl, she just means the world to me and Oh what a smile she has, so special to me, Melissa Marie.
(Chorus) Oh now what's in a name Melissa Marie, your star's shining brightly it's so clear to see. You've made us so proud, as proud as can be, there's so much to your name sweet Melissa Marie.(Verse 2)
When she was young, we had so much fun. Playing and laughing the whole day through and we would dream of days to come, Me and Melissa, Melissa Marie. When she grew up, she met a fine man, said he would you marry me, please take my hand, and now she's as happy as happy can be and her name is Melissa , Melissa Marie. (Repeat Bridge, Chorus to End)
