The first time ever I saw your face
|
I saw the sun rise in your eyes
|
That the moon and stars were a gift 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
|
And felt the earth move close to mine
|
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 close to mine,
|
I thought our joy would never end
|
And would last till the end of time, my love,
|
And would last till the end of time.
