Melissa

You have a heart that leaves the door wide open

A gentle way of healing what is broken

Melissa, you're the roots that keep me standing tall

The one who comes to catch me when I fall

You've been the greatest guide I've ever known

With a grandmother's love that I can call my own

You are the love that never walks away

The steady light that guides me through the day

You mean everything, my shelter and my friend

I'll be holding onto you until the very end

Through every single moment, through every gentle touch

Melissa, I just love you so much

I remember the waiting room, the heavy air

At the pregnancy center, just glad you were there

You held my hand when the worry started to rise

And I found my courage looking in your eyes

You didn't hesitate, you just offered me grace

And brought a sweet peace to a frightening place

You are the love that never walks away

The steady light that guides me through the day

You mean everything, my shelter and my friend

I'll be holding onto you until the very end

Through every single moment, through every gentle touch

Melissa, I just love you so much

When the walls of the church started closing in

And the panic was rising up under my skin

You didn't need words to quiet my mind

Just a hand on my shoulder, so patient and kind

You pulled me back down from the edge of the fear

I can breathe again, just knowing you're near

You are the love that never walks away

The steady light that guides me through the day

You mean everything, my shelter and my friend

I'll be holding onto you until the very end

Through every single moment, through every gentle touch

Melissa, I just love you so much

You are my family, you are my crutch

Melissa, I love you so much
