First time

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 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
 And felt your heart beat close to mine
 Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
 That was there at my command, my love
 That was there at my command.

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 till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face, your face, your face, your face
