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 empty skies. And 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 must stay at my command, my love. And 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 and last and last till the end of time, my love. The first time ever i saw your face, your face, Your face, your face.
