The Middle Name...
Last night, a few of us started talking about our names. I think V2 asked how I got my name. My mom named me Vanessa after some character in a book. However, the middle name, Desiree', Daddy named.
Once long ago I asked how Daddy came up w/ my niddle name; he told me that he got the name from the Neil Diamond song "Desiree'". When I was telling V2 and Tambra last night, I couldn't exactly remember the lyrics, so I looked them up. I knew the song had to deal w/ a one night stand. I called Daddy and asked him if I was indeed named after the song. First he asked why was I asking. He then said that is where he got the idea for the name. Is there more I need to know...probably not...
Below are the lyrics to the song...Enjoy!...

It was the third of june
On that summer's 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 your 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 make 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
