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 empty skies
My love
To the dark and empty skies
My love
The first time
Ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move
in my hand
Like the trembling heart of
a captive bird
That was there
at my command
My love
That was there
at my command
My love
And the first time
Ever I lay with you
I felt your heart
so close to mine
And I thought our joy
would fill the earth
And last till the end of time
My love
It will last till the end of our time
My love
The first time
Ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
