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
