The first time ever I saw your face
|
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
|
And the moon and the stars were the gift you gave
|
To the dark and empty skies [my love]
|
|
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 over mine
|
And I thought our joy would fill the earth
|
And last till the end of time my love
|
And last to the end of time
|
