| | Melissa Lyrics Artist(Band):The Allman Brothers Band
The gypsy flies from coast to coast Knowing many, loving none Bearing sorrow, havin' fun But back home he'll always run ... to sweet Melissa Freight train ... each car looks the same ... all the same And no one knows the gypsy's name No one hears his lonely sighs There are no blankets where he lies In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies ... with sweet Melissa Again the morning's come Again he's on the run Sunbeams shinin' through his hair Appearing not to have a care Well pick up your gear and gypsy roll on ... roll on Crossroads ... will you ever let him go Lord ... Lord Or will you hide the dead man's ghost Or will he lie ... beneath the clay Or will his spirit float away But I know that he won't stay ... without Melissa Yes I know that he won't stay ... without Melissa If you find some error in Melissa Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Melissa My daughter - gone but never forgotten | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/27/09 I had a beautiful baby girl almost 19 years ago that I had to name Melissa. She was not only beautiful but also was happy and smart. She was also my first child. But, she was born with a very severe heart defect and died only a year and a half later. My brother, who was very gifted on the guitar, played Sweet Melissa at her grave. To this day, I feel so many emotions when I hear this song. Life will never be the same "without Melissa." Crossroads | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/4/09 For me this song has evolved in meaning through my life, singing of the lonelyness faced at the crossroads all must choose a path often losing something precious, leaving only bittersweet memories that are lasting for all the years of one's life the song itself leaves it's mark on me and is truely one of my favorites of all time. Godspeed to the Band. Wow | Reviewer: Melissa banner | 7/8/09 I thought I was special my dad chose my name because of this song ( a long time favorite of his) I didn't realize how many parents had done the same. This song really provided a lot of inspiration. It is an awesome song and always reminds me of my dad every-time I hear it. sweet melissa | Reviewer: doubled | 4/12/09 there are times when life gives you the imposable hand now is one of those times. Like the Gypsy says I have my own Melissa my first love from high school some 17 years back. she just moved home what a trip the flood of memories the song life is always a constant change thank you Allman Brothers thank you Melissa | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/21/09 Sitting in a small club and the band just played Melissa. Each time I hear the song I reflect back to high school and think about my sweet Melissa. I occasionally run into her when I'm home and always think about what might have been. She is still as beautiful now as the first time I saw her. I've moved on as most gypsy's do but still and always wish her the best. The Gypsy Melissssa! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/11/08 my name was going to be rachel but when my mom was on the way to the hospital and this song came on the radio she liked the name melissa then when the doctor asked what my name was my dad said melissa. Im My Daddys Sweet Melissa. =*] | Reviewer: **Melissa** | 2/9/08 My Mom found out she was having a babygirl 17 years ago. and she planned on naming me Remi, and my father hated it, and this was and still is his favorite song, and hes sang it to me since the first time i was in his arms, i am and will always be his Sweet Melissa, and my other nickname is Gumski, it has no meaning but when the doctor put me in his arms for the very first time, i just looked like his little Gumski and that name has stuck with me, i love it, me and my daddy blast this song through out the house and sing it and cry! even though i am 17 years old he still holds me like the babygirl i once was. i cant make it through this song with out breaking down its so beautiful! and i thank god everyday for my father!! ive made mistakes, but hes still there and i love him, and i could never imagine him not being in my life!! i love you daddy your the best man in this whole world!!! <<33 Never too many Melissa's | Reviewer: Sweet Melissa | 1/15/08 The Allman Brothers have always been an inspiration to me, even long before I learned of the song. Some how when listening to the song, as a 'Melissa',(or not), you can get lost in the lyrics. I admire, respect and love the song still, so much so, that I brought another "Melissa" into the world 20 years ago. Now she and I have more than a name in common, now we are BOTH stars in an awesome Allman Brothers song. Thanks so much for making all the "Melissa's" feel so "Sweet". Sweet Melissa, form Georgia. Sweet and Sad | Reviewer: paul | 1/5/08 I have loved this song about a traveling man.the Gypsy! It touched my soul the first time i heard it and has been my favorite Alman Bros. song since then, a very long time ago. Thanks for many happy/sad hours of listening pleasure! even though you may not be here any longer, to see this. my sweet daughter | Reviewer: heather | 1/7/08 I named my daughter melissa after the song !
