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 empty skies my love

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move through 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

And felt your heart so close to mine

The first time ever I saw your face
