First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

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