First Time Ever I Saw Your Face


The first time ever I saw your faceI thought the sun rose in your eyesAnd the moon and the stars were the gifts you gaveTo the dark and the empty skies my love
The first time ever I kissed your mouthI felt the earth move through my handLike the trembling heart of a captive birdThat was there at my command my love
The first time ever I lay with youAnd felt your heart so close to mineI thought our joy would fill the earthAnd would last 'till the end of time my loveAnd would last 'till the end of time
The first time ever I saw your faceI thought the sun rose in your eyesAnd the moon and the stars were the gifts you gaveTo the night and the empty skies my loveTo the night and the empty skies
