The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

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 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

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, and last, and last

Till the end of time, my love

The first time ever I saw your face

Your face

Your face

Your face
