The first time ever I saw your face

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 night and the empty skies, my love

To the night and the empty skies



The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth turn in my hand

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love

That was there at my command



cI lay with you

And felt your heart beat close to mine

I thought our joy would fill the earth

And last 'till the end of time, my love

And last 'till the end of time



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 night and the empty skies, my love

To the night and the empty skies
