The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time ever l 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 empty skies

To the dark and empty skiesThe 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

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

And 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

And it would last till the end of time, my loveThe first time ever I saw your face

Your face, your face
