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 the stars were the gifts

You gave to the dark and the endless sky

My love

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

My love

The first time ever I laid with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew that our joy would fill the earth

And last until the end of time

My love

And last until the end of time

My love

The first time ever I saw your face
