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 endless sky, my love
To the dark and the endless sky


The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Well, like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command, my love
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 'til the end of time, my love
It would last 'til the end of time, my love


The first time ever I saw your face
Your face, your face, your face
