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

And the first time, ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the Earth move in my hands

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 fa-ace

Your face
