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 skies The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the Earth move in 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 'til the end of time, my love The first time ever I saw your face Your face, your face, your face
