Lyrics

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
Through the dark and the end of the skies, my love
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth moving my hand
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, hmm, 'til the end of time, my love
And last 'til the end of time, my love
(First time)
And the first time ever I saw, 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)
I saw your pretty face, oh yeah
(Your face)
I saw your pretty, pretty face, baby
(Your face)
I love the pretty face
(Your face)
And I want that pretty, pretty face
