The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
The moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies, my love

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth turn in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love

The first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart beat close to mine
And I thought our joy would fill the earth
And would last till the end of time my love
It would last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face
