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 the endless sky
 ♪
 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 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
 The first time, ever I saw
 ♪
 Your face
 Your face
 Your face
 Your face
 
 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
 ♪
 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 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
 The first time, ever I saw
 ♪
 Your face
 Your face
 Your face
 Your face
 
 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
 ♪
 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 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
 The first time, ever I saw
 ♪
 Your face
 Your face
 Your face
 Your face
