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 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, till the end of time, my love The first time ever I saw, your face Your face, your face Your face
