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 endless 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

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 till the end of time, my love

The first time ever I saw your face

Your face, your face

Your face
