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
