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 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 The first time ever I lay with you And felt your heart so close to mine I thought our joy would fill the world And would last till the end of time, my love The first time ever I saw your face, your face
