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
oh, desiree
there i was found
by the sweet passion sound
of your loving song
time was right, the night was long
remember, desiree
oh, desiree
somehow i knew
i could only have you
´til the morning light
if only for that single night
sweet desiree, you 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
oh, desiree
there i was found
by the sweet passion sound
of your loving song
time was right, the night was long
remember, desiree
oh, desiree
and though somehow i knew
i could only have you
´til the morning light
the night was long, the time was right
do you remember desiree
