Desiree - Neil Diamond

INTRO . . . . . . . .
It was the third of June
On that sum-mers day
When I be-came a man
at the hands of a girl
al-most twice my age
And she came to me
just like the morn-ing sun
And it was-n't so much
her words as such
as the way they were sung
It was the way they were sung
Des-i-ree, oh Des-i-ree
There I was found
by the sweet pas-sion sound
of your lov-ing song
Time was right, the night was long
Re-mem-ber, Des-i-ree
Oh Des-i-ree
Some-how I knew I could
on-ly have you 'til the morn-ing light
If on-ly for that sing-le night
Sweet Des-i-ree, you made it right
Then came the fourth of June
On that sleep-less night
Well I tossed and I turned
while the thought of her burned
up and down my mind
For she was there and gone
with-out one re-gret
But she con-tin-ues on
Like the words of a song
I could not for--get
I could not for--get
Des-i-ree, oh Des-i-ree
There I was found
by the sweet pas-sion sound
of your lov-ing song
Time was right, the night was long
Re-mem-ber, Des-i-ree
Oh Des-i-ree
Some-how I knew I could
on-ly have you 'til the morn-ing light
The night was long the time was right
Do you re-mem-ber,
Des-i-ree, oh Des-i-ree
Do you re-mem-ber,
Des-i-ree, oh Des-i-ree
