💎NEIL DIAMOND ~ DÉSIRÉE

A boy becomes a man ...

“To me it’s a song with a great groove, a cooking record. That’s about it. I wrote it in my beach house so there’s definitely some ocean vibes going on in this one.” - ND (1996)

DESIRÉE (1977 - Age: 36)
NEIL DIAMOND
Album: I’m Glad You’re Here With Me Tonight

It was the third of June,
On that summer's day
When 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

Desirée
Oh, Desirée
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
The time was right, the night was long

Remember, Desirée
Oh, Desirée
Somehow I knew
I could only have you 'til the morning light
If only for that single night
Sweet Desirée, 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

Desirée
Oh, Desirée
There I was found
By the sweet passion sound
Of your loving song
The time was right, the night was long

Remember Desirée
Oh, Desirée
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, Desirée
Oh, Desirée

Do you remember,
Desirée

I was only 4 in 1977 but I still remember this song pumping out of the audio speakers on long family road trips🎵 👍

[Steve-xrwn]

He always had those songs that makes you sir and really listen, they were very special, bring back memories

[douglasandrews]

Listening to this song on June 3 and 4 is a tradition of mine. So is listening to "Kentucky Woman" on the day of the Kentucky Derby, "America" on Independence Day, "Longfellow Serenade" sporadically throughout the summer, "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show" throughout August, "September Morn" throughout September, and "Headed for the Future" on New Year's Day. I may even be forgetting some.

[jackiemcmeekin]

Love this song, composed and sung by Neil! 🥰👍

[desireea.thomas]

My little sister sings this song to me, All the time when she calls me & leaves a message on my phone 🤣👋🏼🤣👋🏼🤣👋🏼

[Linda-zb]

Love that there is a song with my name.

I just listened to this a few days ago. I was out weed-eating and pulled up my ND playlist on my ipod. This song grabbed my attention the first time I played it. I wish there had been ipods and earbuds back in the 79's and 80's. My vinyl is all so gray and scratchy, but I still keep it. I don't why they brought back the vinyl, it's nowhere as clear as cds or digital. Thanks Doug!! I'm going to give it another play before I call it a night.
