The 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 stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the empty skies, my love To the dark and the empty skies The first time (the first time) Ever I kissed your mouth I felt the Earth move in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird (captive bird) That was there (that was there) at my command, my love That was there (that was there) at my command The first time (the first time) Ever I lay with you And felt your heart beat close to mine (felt your heart beat close to mine) I knew our joy would fill the Earth (would fill the Earth) And would last (last) 'til the end of time, my love (my love) And would last (and it would last) 'til the end of time The first time ever I saw your face
