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.
