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 endless skies
my love
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 was there 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 til the end of time
my love
and last ’til the end of time
my love
the first time ever i saw
your face
your face
your faace
your face
