Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Desirée
Oh, Desirée
[Chorus]
There I was found by the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
[Chorus]
Remember, Desirée
Oh, Desirée
[Chorus]
Somehow, I knew
I could only have you till the morning light
If only for that single night
Sweet Desirée, you made it right
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Desirée
Oh, Desirée
[Chorus]
There I was found by the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
Time was right, the night was long
[Chorus]
Remember, Desirée
Oh, Desirée
[Chorus]
And though somehow I knew
I could only have you till the morning light
The night was long, the time was right
[Chorus]
Do you remember, Desirée?
Oh, Desirée
[Outro]
Do you remember, Desirée?
