The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face

Brian Kennedy

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 beat under 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.
