The first time
ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars
were the gifts you gave
To the dark
and the endless sky my love
And the first time
ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move
through my hands
Like the trembling heart
of a captive bird
That was there at my command
And the first time
ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I know our joy
would fill the earth And last
till the end of time my love
The first time
ever I saw your face
