It was the third of June On that summer's day When he became a man At the hands of a girl almost twice his age And he came to me Just like a morning sun And it wasn’t so much his 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 him burned up and down my mind For he was there and gone Without one regret But he 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?
