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 endless skies, my love�

To the dark, and the endless skies.

And 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, my love�

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 till the end of time, my love�

And it would last till the end of time, my love�

The first time ever I saw your face�

Your face�

Your face�

Your face�
