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 must stay 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.

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 endless sky, my love.
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth,
I felt the earth move through 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 know our joy would fill the earth,
And last till the end of time, my love.

The first time ever I saw your face.
