In the line "It's so bad to be alone" in "Come Back (I Don't Want to Go on without You)," the "bad" is sung with a melisma (D C), musically giving a sense of degree, almost emphasizing the preceding "so." (I'm not certain, but "so" in the line "My room is so blue" might have a similar effect.)
I previously noted that the "every" in the lines "I keep seeing your face / Whoa, every place" is sung with three syllables, but I noticed last week that those three syllables are each sung to a different pitch (Eb D C), which also gives a musical sense of number. "Place" is sung with a melisma (C Bb), which extends this sense (because of both the extra syllable and the greater range of the phrase - a fourth from Eb to Bb).
