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    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    The first time ever I lay with you  And felt your heart beat so close to mine  I knew our joy would fill the earth  And last till the end of time  And last till the end of time    The first time ever I saw your face  Saw your face, saw your face  Saw your face
