Desiree lyrics
by Neil Diamond
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
'Till 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
'Till the morning light
The night was long, the time was right
Do you remember, Desiree, oh, Desiree
Do you remember, Desiree?
Time was right, the night was long
