First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

The moon and stars were the gift you gave

To the dark and the endless skies, my loveThe first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my hand

Like a trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my loveAnd 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 would last till the end of time, my loveThe first time ever I saw your face
