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 gifts

You gave to the dark and the endless 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 then at my command

My love



The first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last til the end of time

My love

The first time ever I saw your face

Your face

Your face

Your face
