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.......
