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 empty skies
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That must stay at my command, my love
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the Earth
And last and last and last
'til the end of time, my love
The first time ever I saw your face, your face
Your face, your face
