A5         C5            F5 C5                    F5 C5
It was the third of June...on that summer's day
              F5 C5                F5    C5
when I became a man at the hands of a girl
       G5
almost twice my age.
        C5         F5 C5                        F5 C5
And she came to me....just like a morning sun,
              F5  C5              F5  C5
and it wasn't so much her words as such,
       G5                                            C5
as the way they were sung, it was the way they were sung.

CHORUS:
C5
Desiree, Oh, Desiree..

There I was found by the sweet passion sound
        G5
of your loving song.

Time was right, the night was long.
          C5
Remember, Desiree, oh, Desiree.
                                             G5
Somehow I knew I could only have you til the morning light.
                                                  C5            F5 C5
If only for that single night, sweet Desiree, you made it right.

Then came the fourth of June...on that sleepless night.
                   F5 C5                            F5   C5
Well, I tossed and I turned, while the thought of her burned
       G5
up and down my mind.
            C5             F5 C5                   F5 C5
For she was there and gone....without one regret.
        F5         C5                     F5 C5
But she continues on, like the words of a song
        G5                       C5
I could not forget..I could not forget.

CHORUS:
C5
Desiree, Oh, Desiree..

There I was found by the sweet passion sound
        G5
of your loving song.

Time was right, the night was long.
          C5
Remember, Desiree, oh, Desiree.
                                             G5
Somehow I knew I could only have you til the morning light.
                                                  C5            F5 C5
If only for that single night, sweet Desiree, you made it right.
