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 dark and the empty skies, my love To the dark and the empty skies The first time ever I kissed your lips I felt the earth move in my arms Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love That was there at my command The first time ever I lay with you And felt your heart beat close to mine I felt a joy to fill the earth And would last till the end of time, my love And would last till the end of time
