It was the third of june
On that summer’s day
Well 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
Ohdesiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was rightthe night was long
Rememberdesiree
Ohdesiree
Somehow I knew
I could only have you
’til the morning light
If only for that single night
Sweet desireeyou make 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
Ohdesiree
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was rightthe night was long
Rememberdesiree
Ohdesiree
And though somehow I knew
I could only have you
’til the morning light
The night was longthe time was right
Do you remember desiree
