The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face Lyrics

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 empty 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 my command my love That was there at my command The first time ever I lay with you And felt your heart so close to mine And I knew our joy would fill the earth And last till the end of time, my love The first time ever I saw your face Your face, your face, your face
