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 gaveTo the dark and the empty skies, my love
To the dark and the empty skies
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 (that was there) at my command, my love
That was there (that was there) at my command
The first time ever I held you near
And felt your heartbeat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the world
And would last ′til the end of time, my love
And would last 'til the end of time
