Am C F C F C
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.

Well, I tossed and I turned, while the thought of her burned

up and down my mind.

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
