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 endless skies, my love To the dark and empty skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hands Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love That was there at my command
The first time I ever lay with you And felt your heart so close to mine And I knew our joy would fill the world And would last till the end of time, my love It would last till the end of time The first time ever I saw your face Your face, your face
