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 the gifts you gave To the dark, and the endless sky 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 The first time, ever I saw Your face Your face Your face Your face
