The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
and the moon and the stars
were the gift you gave
to the dark and endless sky
And the first time
ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth moving my head
like the trembling heart
of a captured bird
that was there
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 would last till the end of time my love
it would last till the end of time
The first time ever I saw your face,
your face, your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
and the moon and the stars
were the gift you gave
to the dark and endless sky
And the first time
ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth moving my head
like the trembling heart
of a captured bird
that was there
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 would last till the end of time my love
it would last till the end of time
The first time ever I saw your face,
your face, your face
