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
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like a trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command,
my love
The first time ever I laid 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
