Lyrics

The first time ever l saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes The moon and the stars Were the gifts you gave To the dark and empty skies, my love To the dark and empty skies And the 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 command And the first time ever I laid with you And felt your heart so close to mine, mine And I knew our joy would fill the earth It would last 'til the end of time, my love It would last till the end of time, my love The first time ever I saw your face Your face, your face
