Song: Desiree

Written by: neil diamond

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
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 flashing 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 made it right

Then came the fourth of june
On that sleepless night
When 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 flashing 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
