The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes The moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and empty skies, my love To the dark and empty skies And the first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hands Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love That was there And the first time ever I lay with you And felt you heart so close to mine, And I knew our joy would fill the earth It would last till the end of time, my love It would last till the end of time The first time ever I saw your face Your face, your face
