Information: Following conventional lyric notation practice, words are broken into syllables to interpret the phrasing of the lyrics. Each word syllable in the lyrics below represents a note on the vocal part of this arrangement. A hyphen '-' or trailing hyphens following a word syllable indicates that the word syllable is extended over more than one note. ========================================================= 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
