The Allman Brothers song, Sweet Melissa, is a song penned by Gregg Allman. He was having trouble with the name and almost settled on Delilah. He was in a grocery store when a Spanish woman and her little girl came in. The little girl ran off, and the mother said Melissa, come back. Then and there he settled on the name Melissa.

What do the lyrics mean to Melissa?

My dad & I have an alternative meaning (for us) of this song. He traveled for work all the time, being torn about being gone from me because he was all I had. He had custody of me since I was 5. This became “our song” because he never wanted to be gone, but he didn’t have a choice. And he said I would always be his Sweet Melissa. I know it’s a far off interpretation of the song, but it fits.
