The first time ever I saw your face br I thought the sun rose in your eyes br And the moon and the stars were br The gifts you gave br To the dark and empty skies br br The first time ever I kissed your mouth br I felt the earth move in my hand br Like the trembling heart of a captive bird br That was there at my command my love br br And the first time ever I lay with you br I felt your heart so close to mine br And I knew our joy would fill the earth br And last till the end of time br The first time ever I saw your face br Your face, your face, your face
