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 sky, my loveAnd the first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move through my hands

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my commandAnd the first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I know our joy would fill the earth

And last till the end of time, my love

The first time ever I saw your face
