The First Time Ever...

First time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars

Were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the 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

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

And would last till the end of time
