The First Time I Ever 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 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 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 last and last and last till the end of time, my love. The first time ever I saw your face, your face, your face, your face
