The First Time ever I saw your face
I Thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gift you gave
To the dark and empty skies, my love,
To the dark and empty skies.
And 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,
That was there at my command.
And the first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And would last till the end of time, my love,
And would last till the end of time.
The First Time ever I saw your face
