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 gifts you gave

To the dark, and the endless 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

And the first time, ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy, would fill the earth

And last, til the end of time, my Love.

The first time, ever I saw

Your face

Your face

Your face

Your face
