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.

She had a smile
Such a shining smile
Could light the city skies at night.
And all the late night clubbers say 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

And she used to have a man
And the man's name was Sam
(?) And he was the ultimate antihero (?)
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
That I could only cry out 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

And 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 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..
