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 empty skies, my love

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt your heart beat close to mine

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love

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 last till the end of time, my love

The first time ever I saw your face

Your face, your face, your face ...
