The First Time Ever I Saw Your FaceThe first time ever I saw your faceI thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts 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 hands Like a 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 I felt your heartbeat close to mine And I thought our joy would be the world And would last 'til the end of time, my love And would last 'til the end of time Oh the first time ever I saw your face Your face, your face, your face |
