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 gift you gave

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)

The first time ever I lay with you

And felt your heart beat over mine

And I thought our joy would fill the earth

And last till the end of time my love

And last to the end of time
