The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time ever l 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 endless 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 your heart so close to mine (mine)
And I knew our joy would fill the Earth
And would last 'til the end of time, my love
It would last 'til the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face
