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 my love
to the dark and the endless skies.

the first time ever i kissed your mouth
i felt the earth move in my hand

like the trembling heart of a captive bird
that was there at the command of my love
that was there at the command of 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
and it would last til the end of time.

the first time ever i saw your face
your face, your face.
