The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face

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 endless sky, my love

To the dark

And endless sky

The first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the Earth move through my hands

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was then

At my command, my love

That was then

At my command

And the first time ever I laid 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 last

'Til the end of time
