[Verse 1: Levi Stubbs]
I woke up yesterday
Knowing I was lost in the past somewhere (Ooh)
I felt my destiny (Ooh)
Was a sad parade going nowhere
And then I saw my sweet Melodie (Ooh)
Like a song, you enchanted me
And the sound of your voice made my heart keep time
To the music of a love that fills my mind

[Chorus: Levi Stubbs]
Melodie, you're a symphony
A love song to me, you're the only
Melody that I want to sing
You're my everything, you're my only

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Chorus: Jean Terrell, Levi Stubbs, and Both]
Melodie, you're a symphony
A love song to me, you're my only
Melody that I want to sing
You're my everything, you're my only
[Verse 2: Jean Terrell, and Both]
The long and winding road is much shorter
Now that you're here with me (Ooh)
The questions in my mind have been answered (Ooh)
Now love has told me (Ooh)
All the colorrs are brighter now
And the darkness is lighter now
In my mind, I can hear the orchestra playing
Hello tomorrow, goodbye yesterday

[Chorus: Both]
Melodie, you're a symphony
A love song to me, you're my only
Melody that I want to sing, you're my everything
You're my only

[Bridge: Levi Stubbs and Both]
Beautiful morning (Morn)
Ooh, happy day (Oh happy day)
You know it's music to my ears
Every word you say, yeah

[Chorus: Both]
Melodie, you're a symphony
A love song to me baby, you're my only
Melody that I want to sing, you're my everything
You're my only
Melodie, you're a symphony
A love song to me, you're my only
