Lyrics

(Melinda melinda) oh how I miss melinda
While a walking down a street in denver I passed by a little dress shop
A sign on the door read melinda's and I asked myself if I should stop
For I knew a girl named melinda when I lived here years ago
And I wondered if by chance it could be the melinda I used to know
So I peeked in through the window and there to my surprice
I saw my darling melinda and a tear came to my eyes
For she looked lovely as always as I watched her standing there
Her face was like an angel's with a halo of golden hair
Melinda melinda with the golden hair oh how I miss melinda (melinda)
Then I slowly remembered how she suffered the shame
Of being left with a baby and me never changing her name
So I ran in and called out melinda so ashamed I hung down my head
But the young girl said sir I'm sorry but you see my mother is dead
Melinda melinda with the golden hair oh how I miss melinda oh how I miss melinda
