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 love

The 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 love

And 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 love

The first time ever I saw your face
