MELISSA ( The nigth we said goodbye)

[Mimmo]

I'm Happy to bring this song to the finish line...I  gave John an idea and some notes to work with and he got the story down.
You might notice the warmer feel in the second mix, I tried to make a different mix.
Thanks to everyone that helped, and thanks to all of you for listening.

                  Melissa
    (The night we said goodbye)
When Melissa was just twenty-three...
I was married, and twice as old as she
Drove her home, from work one night
Said she loved me then she went inside

Think so often of those words she said
Let her go and wondered why I did
Went to Boston where she finished school
Then off to 'Frisco to try something new

Once in life, if you're one of the lucky few
Fate will step in... And true love will come to you
Seldom in life will you get a second chance
At true romance


We lost touch for over  seven years
She came back, was thrilled that she was here.
We reminisced on times we missed
We parted ways without a single kiss

Life is full of twists that can't be known
Sometimes seeds of love are never sown
Planned to chat when we had time to kill
To share a coffee, but I'm waiting still

Once in life, if you're one of the lucky few
Fate will step in... And true love will come to you
Seldom in life will you get a second chance
At true romance

[Mr. Mom]

I like it Mimmo, a nice soothing, relaxing melody. I think the horns in the intro really help to set the tone.
