The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

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 The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in 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 The first time ever I saw your face Your face, the face Your face
