Neil Diamond – Desiree
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 ageAnd 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 sungDesiree
Oh, Desiree There I was found By the sweet passion sound Of your loving song Time was right, the night was longRemember, 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 rightThen 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 mindFor 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 forgetDesiree
Oh, Desiree There I was found By the sweet passion sound Of your loving song Time was right, the night was longRemember, Desiree?
Oh, Desiree And though somehow I knew I could only have you ‘til the morning light The night was long, the time was rightDo you remember, Desiree?
Oh, DesireeDo you remember, Desiree?
