It was the third of June
On that younger 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 [Am7]the way they were sung
Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was [Am7]found
By the sweet passion [C7]sound
Of you [A7loving song
Time was [Am7]ɾight, the night was [Am7]long
Remember, Desiree
Oh Desiree
Somehow I knew
I could only have you
'Til the morning light
If only for [Dm7]that single night
Sweet Desiree, you [A7made it ɾight.
Then came the fourth of June
On that sleepless night
Well I tossed and [Bm]I turned
While the thought of her burned
Up and [Bm]down my [A]mind
For she was [Am7]there and [Bm]gone
Without one ɾegret
But she continues on
Like the words of a song
I could not forget
I could not forget
Desiree
Oh, Desiree
There I was [Am7]found
By the sweet passion [C7]sound
Of your loving song
Time was [Am7]ɾight, the night was [Am7]long
Remember, Desiree
Oh, Desiree
And though somehow I knew
I could only have you
'Til the morning light
The night was [Am7]long, the time was [Am7]ɾight
Do you [A7ɾemember, Desiree
