It was the third of June
  On that younger day
  Well 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 passion sound
  Of you 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, you made it right.
  
  Then came the fourth of June
  On that sleepless night
  Well 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 passion 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
