The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and stars

Were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the empty skies

And 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

And 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 and last and last

Till the end of time

The first time

Ever I saw your face your face

Your face your face your face
