NEIL DIAMOND - Desiree lyrics

rate me

Written by: neil diamond

It was the third of june

On that summer's 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 the way they were sung

Desiree

Ohdesiree

There I was found

By the sweet passion sound

Of your loving song

Time was rightthe night was long

Rememberdesiree

Ohdesiree

Somehow I knew

I could only have you

'til the morning light

If only for that single night

Sweet desireeyou make it right

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

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

Desiree

Ohdesiree

There I was found

By the sweet passion sound

Of your loving song

Time was rightthe night was long

Rememberdesiree

Ohdesiree

And though somehow I knew

I could only have you

'til the morning light

The night was longthe time was right

Do you remember desiree
