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.

Am                          F C                       F C
Then came the fourth of June...on that sleepless night.
                   F C                            F   C
Well, I tossed and I turned, while the thought of her burned
       G
up and down my mind.
            C             F C                   F C
For she was there and gone....without one regret.
        F         C                     F C
But she continues on, like the words of a song
        G                       C
I could not forget..I could not forget.

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.
