The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Lena Martell

The first time ever i saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and the stars were 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 hands

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command

My love

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
