the first time ever i saw your face
i thought the sun rose in your eyes
and the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
to the dark and the endless skies

the first time ever i kissed your nose
i felt the earth move in my hand
like the trembling heart of a captive bird 
i felt your heart so close to mine
and i knew our joy would fill the earth
and last till the end of time

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