The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave To the night and the empty skies, my love The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth turn in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love The first time ever I lay with you And felt your heart beat close to mine The first time ever I saw your face Your face, your face, your face
