Lyrics

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 To the dark and the endless skies To the dark and the endless skies To the dark and the endless skies 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, that was then at my command, my love That was then at my, that was then at my command 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 And last 'til the end of time And last 'til the end of time The first time ever I saw your face Your face, your face, your face Your face, your face, your face, your face Your face, your face, your face, your face Your face, your face, your face, your face Your face, your face, your face, your face
