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 the stars were the gifts you gave
to the dark and the endless skies

the first time ever I kiss 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

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
the first time ever i saw your face
your face, your face
