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 dark and endless skies, my love

To the dark and endless skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move in my head

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there, there at my command, my love

That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you

And I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And would last 'til the end of time, my love

It would last 'til the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face, your face

Your face, your face, your face, your face
