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
