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 must stay 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.
