it was the third of june . . . on that summer’s day
F C F C
when i became a man at the hands of a girl
G
almost twice my age .
C F C F C
and she came to me . . . . just like a morning sun ,
F C F C
and it wasn’t so much her words as such ,
G C
as the way they were sung , it was the way they were sung .

chorus :
C
desiree , oh , desiree . .

there i was found by the sweet passion sound
G
of your loving song .

time was right , the night was long .
C
remember , desiree , oh , desiree .
G
somehow i knew i could only have you til the morning light .
C F C
if only for that single night , sweet desiree , you made it right .

then came the fourth of june . . . on that sleepless night .
F C F C
well , i tossed and i turned , while the thought of her burned
G
up and down my mind .
C F C F C
for she was there and gone . . . . without one regret .
F C F C
but she continues on , like the words of a song
G C
i could not forget . . i could not forget .

chorus :
C
desiree , oh , desiree . .

there i was found by the sweet passion sound
G
of your loving song .

time was right , the night was long .
C
remember , desiree , oh , desiree .
G
somehow i knew i could only have you til the morning light .
C F C
if only for that single night , sweet desiree , you made it right .
