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.
