The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Grant & Forsythe

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

and the moon and the stars

where the gift you gave

to the dark and empty skies my love

to the dark and empty skies



The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the Earth move in my hand

like a tremling heart of a captive bird

that was there at my command my love

that was there at my command



The first time ever I lay with you

and felt your heart beat close to mine

and I knew our joy would fill the Earth

and would last till the end of time my love

yes it would last till the end of time



The first time ever I saw your eyes.......
