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