The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
The first time ever I saw your faceI thought the sun rose in your eyesAnd 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 mouthAnd felt your heart beat close to mineLike the trembling heart of a captive birdThat was there at my command, my loveThat was there at my command.
The first time ever I lay with youI felt the earth move in my handI thought our joy would fill the earthAnd last 'till the end of time, my love,And last 'till the end of time.
