The First Time Ever (I Saw Your Face)

The first time

Ever I saw your face

I felt the sun rose

In your eyes

And the moon and stars

Were the gifts you gave

To the dark

And the empty skies my love

To the dark

And the empty skies

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 held you near

And felt your heart beat

Close to mine

I thought 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
