The first time ever I saw your face I saw the sun rise in your eyes That the moon and stars were a gift you gave To the dark and the empty skies, my love, To the dark and the 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 beat close to mine, I thought our joy would never end And would last till the end of time, my love, And would last till the end of time.
