The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face lyrics

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 endless 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 was there at my command, my love 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 ‘til the end of time, my love The first time ever I saw your face Your face Your face Your face
