Welcome back to the game. Without knowing your particular playstyle preferences it's hard to really nail down a recommendation. However, bard is considered one of the easier classes to play, so if you like the sound of it... jump right in.

Melee are usually considered harder not just because they need to dodge more, but also because of the complexity of their rotations. If you're not planning to raid then you don't need to worry about heavy optimization, however.

Healing is a whole different topic and it can be boring in the low levels but very rewarding at endgame, but I won't get into that unless you have particular interest.
