 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
