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 endless skies, my love

To the dark and empty skies

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 at my command

The first time i ever lay with you

And felt you heart so close to mine

And i knew our joy would fill the world

And would last till the and of time, my love

It would last till the end of time

The first time ever i saw your face

Your face, your face
