The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave

To the dark and the endless sky my love

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth

I felt the earth move through my hands

Like the trembling heart of a captive bird

That was there at my command

And the first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I know our joy would fill the earth

And last till the end of time my love

The first time ever I saw your face
