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 empty skies
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 and
last and last
till the end of time
The first time
ever I saw your face
your face
your face
your face
