Desiree

It was the third of June,

On that summer's day

When I became a man

At the hands of a girl almost twice my age

And she came to me

Just like a morning sun

And it wasn't so much her words as such

As the way they were sung

It was the way they were sung

Desiree

Oh, Desiree

There I was found

By the sweet passion sound

Of your loving song

Time was right, the night was long

Remember, Desiree

Oh, Desiree

Somehow I knew

I could only have you 'til the morning light

If only for that single night

Sweet Desiree, you made it right

Then came the fourth of June,

On that sleepless night

Well I tossed and I turned

While the thought of her burned

Up and down my mind

For she was there and gone

Without one regret

But she continues on

Like the words of a song

I could not forget, I could not forget

Desiree

Oh, Desiree

There I was found

By the sweet passion sound

Of your loving song

Time was right, the night was long

Remember Desiree

Oh, Desiree

And though somehow I knew

I could only have you 'til the morning light

The night was long, the time was right

Do you remember, Desiree

Oh, Desiree

Do you remember,

Desiree
