The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time ever I saw your face

I saw the sun rise in your eyes

That the moon and stars were a gift 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 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

That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you

And felt your heart beat close to mine

I thought our joy would never end

And would last till the end of time, my love

And would last till the end of time
